Moshe – Netzach [#15635]

The Sefirah of Tiferes is called “Torah”. Therefore, in the 7 Sefiros which correspond to each of the 7 Ushpizin, why does Moshe correspond to Netzach and not Tiferes, since he gave the Torah (Tiferes)? Why is Yaakov the Tiferes and not Moshe? And what is the connection between Moshe and Netzach?

There are several ways to look at it. The Zohar says “Yaakov on the outside, Moshe on the inside.” Thus Yaakov is Tiferes and Moshe is Netzach, because Netzach is the inner level within Tiferes, since Netzach is called the inner level of all six Sefiros which comprised the partzuf Zeir Anpin (sefer Koheles Yaakov). Sefer Chaim V’Chessed says that the Torah overcomes all the nations, thus Torah is associated with Netzach. Sefer Toldos Ahron says that Moshe is called Netzach because he was victorious over the angels to get the Torah, and that really Moshe was on the higher level, Tiferes, but because of his humility, he was willing to go down to the level of Netzach. Sefer Imrei Pinchos says that Moshe is called Netzach because Moshe’s holiness spreads to every generation, thus Moshe is eternal, Netzach. Sefer Toldos Ahron also says that Moshe is called Netzach because he overcame all of his middos, so he was victorious, Netzach. The inner level of Netzach is daas, which is the root of all the middos.
