"And he called unto Moses and the Lord spoke unto him..." (Vayikra 1.1)

It is written preceding this matter, concerning the portion of the Tabernacle: "...as the Lord commanded Moses." This is analogous to a king who commanded his servant saying, "Build for me a palace." On everything he built, he inscribed the name of the king. He built the walls, and inscribed on them the king's name. He build pillars, and inscribed on them the king's names, he erected boards, and inscribed on them the king's name. After many days, the king entered the palace and found his name inscribed on everything that he saw. Said he: "Such honor my servant has inscribed upon me. Shall I be inside and he remain outside? Summon him that he may enter inside." So, too, when the Almighty instructed Moses to build a Tabernacle, on each thing [Moses] built, he inscribed, "As the Lord commanded Moses." Said the Almighty: "Such honor has Moses bestowed upon me. Shall I be inside and he remain outside? Summon him that he may enter inside.: Therefore, it is written: "And he called unto Moses..." [Vayikra Rabba 1.7]

Moses carried out the task of building God's Tabernacle without claiming honor or reward for himself. Everything he did, he did in God's name, and for His sake alone. For this selfless devotion, he was privileged to be summoned by name by the Almighty - "And He called unto Moses..." Moses' humility elevated him to a level of greatness.

Such humility is too often lacking not only among the leaders of today, but also in our own private lives. So many of our creations and achievements we credit only to ourselves, not to the Almighty who makes them possible. We convince ourselves that our own talents and skills alone account for what we manage to build. Such egocentricity often lies at the foundation of strife within the family, the workplace, and the community.
Consider one who is privileged to contribute to the establishment of a synagogue or Beit Midrash. One who expects or demands for himself personal recognition demonstrates his disregard for God's gifts, and His commandments. The Almighty does not call out to such a man.

Leaders must recognize that if they wish for God's blessings for their actions, God's name must be inscribed on everything they build. If, in fact, they build in God's name, He will call out to them by name. If, by contrast, they credit only themselves, He will ignore them.

In both our public and private endeavors, we must inscribe God's name on what we strive for and on what we accomplish, so that He many call out to us, and so that we may be for Him, "A kingdom of priests and a holy nation."
