Thus, the two midpoints of the Torah—"דרש דרש משה" and the letter “vav” of "גחון"—go hand in hand magnificently. They impress upon us the need for both Yissachars and Zevuluns among us. The former devotes himself to the study of Torah, while HKB”H arranges for the latter to be involved in business and commerce like Zevulun, the sixth of shevatim, to support Yissachar. This sacred role is alluded to by the letter “vav”—the letter that connects things. In this manner, they share in the rewards of Yissachar’s Torah- study, as alluded to by the repetitive phrase "דרש דרש משה".
In this merit, we will be privileged to witness the fulfillment of the passuk: "ואת שעיר החטאת דרש דרש משה והנה שורף"—regarding the he-goat of the “chatas,” Moshe made a detailed inquiry. The Degel Machaneh Ephraim interprets this passuk as follows: “The he-goat”—"שעיר"— represents the klipos—the negative forces generated by our sins, as we find in the passuk (Yeshayah 13, 21): "ושעירים ירקדו שם"—and demons will dance there; "דרש דרש משה"—- due to the efforts of a “talmid-chacham,” a representative of Moshe, analyzing and elucidating the Torah over and over again, diligently and arduously; "והנה שורף"—the negative, external forces of the klipos are incinerated and abolished.
In this manner, we will merit the total geulah, swiftly, in our times! Amen.
