  Hayyim ben Joseph Vital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a young boy, Vital was educated by the scholar, Rabbi Moses Alshech.
It was an unhappy marriage, and when he left his wife, the prophet Elijah appeared to Vital in a dream and led him to a beautiful garden, where he saw the pious of all ages, in the form of birds, flying through the garden and studying the Mishnah.
Moses accordingly brought Joshua a large part of the manuscripts, and 100 copyists were immediately engaged: in just three days, they were able to reproduce more than 600 pages.

My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?" (Num.12:6-8).
The exalted position of Moses is a powerful testimony concerning the superiority of the prophet of whom he was the type.
Since Moses, the great deliverer of Israel from her Egyptian bondage, was not in the throes of slavery, as were his brethren, and since the antitype must correspond in general to the type, we may be sure that the Messiah is not in the grip of this universal spiritual bondage.

The Talmud (Sanhedrin 110a) asks what it was precisely that Moses had heard, and Rabbi Samuel son of Nachmeyni says that he had heard that each Jewish husband suspected Moses of adultery with his wife, since the Torah had stated that "Moses took his tent and put it up outside the camp" (Exodus 33:7).
They were apparently alleging that the reason Moses appointed Aaron and his sons as Priests was to avoid being involved in the procedure of the mayim hamarim (the bitter waters) that a wife suspected of infidelity has to drink, seeing the Priest was his blood relation, and as such unable to administer the procedure.
Now that a quarrel had surfaced these suspicions were voiced openly, and that is why Moses fell on is face when he "heard." This is how one has to explain the plain meaning of the verse.

From Calvin's viewpoint, the law of Moses reflected the moral nature of God and was designed in the first place to show humanity the path to life.
To neglect the law of Moses is to neglect the moral perspectives of Jesus himself, who insisted that “anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19).

Moses Elsheikh himself followed the "unanimous opinion of the rabbis" that the section referred to the messiah; but so great was the difficulty of admitting the death of the messiah, that he also interpreted all the verses which spoke of death as referring to Moses.
In a word, the explanation of the rabbis and of the Targum of Yonathan cannot possibly be conceived as being truthful in the sense of being literal; it is allegorical and adventitious, consisting, as it does, in the adaptation of one of their traditions to the language of the text.

 Print Version - Eat to Your Heart's Desire
The Alshech HaKadosh notes that the Torah passage regarding the consumption of meat -- which is normally translated as "to your heart's desire" -- actually says "to your soul's desire." The role of consuming meat is to bring one's desires closer to God.
Therefore, Alshech HaKadosh states that the allowance of meat is not a concession to the baser part of man, rather it is a method of elevating the soul by refocusing the desires.
Certainly on Shabbat and holy days, the eating of meat is part of the process of elevating the soul.
