Ask Around Your Shabbos Table

Ask around your Shabbos table: For what reason did Hashem make Moshe Rabbeinu have a speech impediment?

An Answer: One beautiful answer is given by the Ran (Drashos Haran, drasha 3). If Moshe would have eloquent vocal abilities, then when he would teach Torah to Klal Yisroel, they would have attributed the sweetness that they felt in that Torah to Moshe’s voice. Hashem purposely did not give Moshe good vocal abilities, so that those who listened to Moshe’s Torah would undoubtfully know that the sweetness that they felt in that Torah was just from the Torah itself.
