The 7th of Adar has the distinction of being both the day of Moshè rabbeinu birth and of his death. Such is the spiritual power of this day that when the wicked Haman thought that Adar would be a good month in which to destroy the Jews, his evil plans were foiled. The Vilna Gaon said as follows:
The day of Moshe Rabbeinu's passing and day of his birth was the seventh of Adar.
In most years, this day falls out during the week in which Parshas Tetzaveh is read.
Now, in the entire Parshas Tetzaveh, Moshe's name is not mentioned, even once.
This alludes to the fact that Moshe's demise took place during this week.
