Because Moses played a big part in the Israelites getting away from slavery. Their used - to - be slave owners were the Egyptians.

In the Old Testament book of Exodus you can read the history of Moses and the Israelites. Moses was used by God to lead the Israelites out of their bondage to the Egyptians. Read the book of Exodus in The Bible and it will explain.

Jewish Answer

Moshe (Moses) is important within Judaism because he was the greatest of the prophets, no person before or after him had the same relationship with HaShem (The Creator) as he did.

Note: The Jewish Bible is the 'Tanach'. The Christian Old Testament is not considered a valid religious text within Judaism.
