Question. How did the Jews for thousands of years show respect to Moses for the great work God wraught through him?
I see where you are going with this! ;o)
He was considered the greatest of the prophets. But no images were made of him. After the Torah, there is little mention of him in the Hebrew scriptures. And the writings of the sages and rabbis take pains to illustrate the human failings of Moses. Contrary to the usual pagan customs, where someone like Moses would be deified, the Jews took every effort to ensure that it was understood he was just a man.
