Parsha Korach
In 5768 I wrote a little commentary on Perkei Avos which gave me
the idea for the 5769 commentary on Torah which is the basis for what I am
publishing this week.
From Perkei Avos Chapter 2: He
[Rabban Yochanan] said to them [his students]: Go out and see what is a good
way to which a person should cleave. R. Eliezer said: A good eye. R. Yehoshua
said: A good friend. R. Yossi said: A good neighbor. R. Shimon said: One who
considers consequences. R. Elazar said: A good heart. He said to them, I prefer
the words of Elazar ben Arach over your words, for included in his words are
your words.
R. Yossi said: A good neighbor – Our Sages say that woe to
the wicked and woe to his neighbor. Next to Reuven and Gad was the Kohath
family of Leviim. Korach did not have to make too much of an effort to convince
Datan and Aviram to rebel against Moshe. Had they have had a better neighbor
with perhaps a favorable eye for Moshe, they would have never participated in a
rebellion.
The Zohar mentions the spiritual
Realm of the rebellion. Leviim represented the left side of HASHEM and the
Cohanim the right side. Korach tried to mess up the higher spiritual order by
mixing up the left and the right.
16:1
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan
and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took
men; 2 and they rose up in face of Moses, with certain of the children of
Israel, two hundred and fifty men; they were princes of the congregation, the
elect men of the assembly, men of renown;
Over ambition and self delusion of these great men was their down
fall. These people did not believe that Moshe was appointed for his humility
and his knowledge of leadership by growing up in Pharaoh’s court. They viewed
him as an outsider. Could you imagine me trying to be US Secretary of Defense
after having served in the Israeli leadership. Although I am not a turn coat
and loyal to my country of birth and my job, I can image a riot being caused by
somebody appointing me to such a position. However, the same position in Israel
might be possible, but I could not accept it as I would not renounce my
American Citizenship. So perhaps here my principles are greater than my
personal ambition. However, Korach and the other members of the assembly had
just the opposite ideas. Power corrupts and absolute power absolutely corrupts.
There was a joke about Mrs. Charles Degaulle wanting to speak to her husband in
the living room. “Charles.” “Mr. President” etc. until out of frustration she
shouts “Mon Deux” and he answers, “Darling you can call me Charlie.” Oh course
he was not really like that but he was with his nose in the air for the honor
of France.
3
and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and
said unto them: 'Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are
holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them; wherefore then lift ye up
yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?'
On the surface things looked very bad. Moshe was the king, his
brother was the high priest. It smelled of nepotism or what we call special
protection in Israel. Although J.F. Kennedy was a beloved president, the
appointment of Robert F. Kennedy as Attorney General and Edward (Teddy)
becoming the Senator for MA did have a flavor of nepotism in it. We cannot say
the same about John and John Q. Adams or Pelosi or the Bush family. The emotion
of Jealousy, evil eye upon Moshe and even a feeling of being left out led to
this. The next sentence is how Moshe felt about the whole leadership role.
4
And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.
If we go back to Sefer Shemos and the incident of the burning
bush, we know that Moshe wanted to shake off such responsibilities. He was
doing his best to avoid the appointment. Yet our Sages tell us that those who
run from honor – the honor comes to them. Those who seek out honor like Korach
the honor avoids them.
5
And he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company, saying: 'In the morning the
LORD will show who are His, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near
unto Him; even him whom He may choose will He cause to come near unto Him.
Moshe is sort of giving G-D the democratic vote here on the issue.
Explaining further what I wrote above: In reality, Moshe knew that G-D had
chosen him even though at the burning bush on Mr. Sinai, he was sort of
rebelling against G-D saying “Chose whom you want (but please leave me out of
this).” Many times people don’t want power but once given it, they like to hold
on to it. Rav Boyer Shlita told our Kollel these thoughts began going to his
head after he became the mayor of Bnei Berak. Moshe did not want the power
because he was humble but he did not want to lose it in a dispute that was far
from the sake of heaven. For to serve the L-RD, one had to do things purely for
the sake of heaven and that was not Korach’s driving force but just plain raw
power.
6
This do: take you censors, Korah, and all his company;
Why did he see fit to speak to
them thus? He said to them, “Among the nations, there are various forms of
worship and many priests, and they do not all gather in one temple. We,
however, have only one God, one ark, one Torah, one altar, and one kohen
gadol, but you two hundred and fifty men are all seeking the kehunah
Gedolah ! I too would
prefer that. Here, take for yourselves the service most dear-it is the incense,
more cherished than any other sacrifice, but it contains deadly poison, by
which Nadab and Abihu were burnt. Therefore, he warned them, ”and it will be
the one whom the Lord chooses-he is the holy one“ [meaning,] that he is already
in his [state of] holiness. Is it not obvious that [the one] who is chosen is
the holy one? Rather, Moses told them, ”I am telling you this so that you
should not be found guilty. For the one He chooses will survive, and the rest
of you will perish." - [Mid.
Tanchuma 5, Bamidbar
Rabbah 18:8]
Rashi uses “among the nations” because there multitudes are
present. Just this week in Iran over a million people come out to political
demonstrations. But among Am Yisrael where we are few in numbers, quality
replaces quantity and a small around of people are priests. (An interesting
aside note that my Yeshuv is situated in the area where the Maccabees lived and
they were Cohanim. Our Yeshuv has a disproportional amount of Cohanim to that
of the regular population of Yisrael and Leviim.)
7
and put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD to-morrow; and
it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy; ye take
too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.'
[interpreted Midrashically as:] I
have told you a very great thing. Were they not fools? For he warned them about
it and they [still] took upon themselves to offer [the incense]. They sinned at
the cost of their lives, as it says, “the censers of these who sinned at the
cost of their lives” (17:3). But what did Korah, who was astute, see [to
commit] this folly? His vision deceived him. He saw [prophetically] a chain of
great people descended from him: Samuel, who is equal [in importance] to Moses
and Aaron. He [Korah] said, “ For his sake I will be spared. [He also saw]
twenty-four watches [of Levites] emanating from his grandsons, all prophesying
through the holy spirit, as it says, ”all these were the sons of Heman“ (I
Chron 25:5). He said, ” Is it possible that all this greatness is destined to
emanate from me, and I should remain silent?“ Therefore, he participated [in
the rebellion] to reach that prerogative, for he had heard from Moses that they
would all perish and one would escape [death]: ”the one whom the Lord
chooses-he is the holy one.“ He erred in thinking that it referred to him. He,
however, did not ”see" properly, for his sons repented [and thus did not
die at that time]. Moses, however, foresaw this. - [This is found in Mid.] Tanchuma [Korach 5, Num. Rabbah 18:8] you have taken too much upon
yourselves. [The simple interpretation is:] You have taken too great a task
upon yourselves, to rebel against the Holy One, blessed is He.
When HASHEM appoints a Prophet it
is not a political appointment or a popularity contest or a book of tricks to
stay in power by avoiding elections. Sometimes it is not good to ‘know’ the
future because without completely clear prophecy, one sees only a partial
picture.
8
And Moses said unto Korah: 'Hear now, ye sons of Levi: 9 is it but a small thing unto you,
that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to
bring you near to Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and
to stand before the congregation to minister unto them; 10 and that He hath brought thee near,
and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and will ye seek the
priesthood also?
If I were to modernize the story, I would have Moshe act as chief
of the Securities Exchange Commission talking to the scoundrel Bernie Madoff.
It is not enough for you to have headed the NASDAQ you now want to become
popular through a fraudulent Ponzi Scheme? On that you will fall from greatness
and lose everything you have, a nice home, a loving wife at your side,
children, a brother and the rest of your days you will rot in jail and pay back
in the next world and will be lucky to reincarnate if at all. The principle is
the same. A person with influence, power, established as a leader goes and
throws it all away for mere false dreams and bought love that will run out on
him as it is based on sheker (lies/falsehoods) and not the Emmet (truth) that
stands on a firm foundation. [In Hebrew the letters Shin Kof Resh stand on one
foot so to say while Aleph Mem Tav stand on a solid foundation of two feet.] In
Perkei Avos it is written and detailed by a Medrash that the spot where the
earth opened up its mouth to swallow Korach, one can hear the 250 still yelling
in Hebrew “Moshe Emmet v’ Toraso Emmet”.
11
Therefore thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the
LORD--; and as to Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?' 12 And Moses
sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said: 'We will not
come up; 13 is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land
flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs
make thyself also a prince over us? 14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a
land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and
vineyards; wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.' 15
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD: 'Respect not Thou their
offering; I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.'
16 And Moses said unto Korach: 'Be thou and all thy congregation before the
LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
From the language here in the Pshat of the conversation, if they
had come and requested to be participants in offerings to HASHEM for the sake
of heaven sort of a Chassidus or Chidur to glorify HASHEM that Moshe would have
been humble enough to request something on their behalf. But they came to form
both a political and spiritual revolution against HASHEM and Moshe. This is
what angered the humblest of me.
31
And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the
ground did cleave asunder that was under them. 32 And the earth opened her
mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that
appertained unto Korach, and all their goods. 33 So they, and all that
appertained to them, went down alive into the pit; and the earth closed upon
them, and they perished from among the assembly.
Note the sons of Korach did not participate in this fiasco. They
did not want to rebel and they saw no purpose in this as they were not elders
like Korach and the other rebels.
34
And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they
said: 'Lest the earth swallow us up.' 35 And fire came forth from the LORD, and
devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
Did the sons of Korach write a Psalm now to praise HASHEM or was
it in later generations? This is not clear to me but they removed themselves
and were saved and Mrs. On ben Peleg had him so drunk from the night before
that he overslept the incident and was saved. Praise be the righteous women of
Israel.
17:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 ‘Speak unto Eleazar
the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning,
and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become holy; 3 even the
fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them
be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar—for they are become holy,
because they were offered before the LORD—that they may be a sign unto the
children of Israel.’ 4 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen fire-pans, which
they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the
altar, 5 to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no
common man, that is not of the seed of Aaron, draw near to burn incense before
the LORD; that he fare not as Korach, and as his company; as the LORD spoke
unto him by the hand of Moses.
This was now a reestablishment or reinforcement of what was meant
to be at the start.
6 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying: ‘Ye have killed the people of
the LORD.’ 7 And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against
Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting; and,
behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared. 8 And Moses
and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
Complaints and more complaints from the ungrateful congregation of
freed slaves. These men who had never tasted freedom were free and running amok
like anarchists.
9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 10 ‘Get you up from among
this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.’ And they fell upon
their faces. 11 And Moses said unto Aaron: ‘Take thy fire-pan, and put fire
therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto
the congregation, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from
the LORD: the plague is begun.’ 12 And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into
the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people;
and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people. 13 And he stood
between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. 14 Now they that
died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that
died about the matter of Korach. 15 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door
of the tent of meeting, and the plague was stayed.
It was combination of prayer and incense that the plague was
stayed. For the DIVINE JUDGEMENT was beginning to overcome the DIVINE MERCY in
the heavenly court. It was only in intervening of Moshe and Aaron’s prayers
that tipped the scales in the favor of Am Yisrael.
16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 17 ‘Speak unto the
children of Israel, and take of them rods, one for each fathers’ house, of all
their princes according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; thou shalt write
every man’s name upon his rod. 18 And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the
rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod for the head of their fathers’ house. …
23 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the
testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and
put forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and bore ripe almonds. 24 AnRd Moses
brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel;
and they looked, and took every man his rod.
This put a final end on the rebellions against the authority
vested in Moshe and Aaron.
25 And the LORD said unto Moses: ‘Put back the rod of Aaron before
the testimony, to be kept there, for a token against the rebellious children;
that there may be made an end of their murmurings against Me, that they die
not.’ 26 Thus did Moses; as the LORD commanded him, so did he. …
18: 1 And the LORD said unto Aaron: 'Thou and thy sons and thy fathers'
house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons
with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
[God did not say directly to Aaron but] He said [this] to Moses
to say to Aaron (Sifrei Korach 17) and caution him regarding
regulations for the [benefit of the] Israelites, that they should not enter the
Sanctuary. You, your sons and your father’s house. They are the sons of Kohath,
who was Amram’s father. — [Midrash
Aggadah] Shall bear the iniquity associated with the Sanctuary. I
impose upon you the punishment of the outsiders who sin regarding the sacred
objects entrusted to you; the Tent, the ark, the table, and the sacred vessels.
You shall sit and warn any unauthorized person who attempts to touch [the
sacred objects]. and you and your sons. The kohanim . shall bear the sin associated with
your kehunah. For it is not given over to the Levites. You shall warn the
Levites who might inadvertently err, that they may not touch you during your
[performance of the] service.
As with most jobs comes responsibilities. The simple cleaning
person at a factory has to answer to the chief in charge of clean-up
maintenance who his under the person responsible for all maintenance of the
plant. If the CEO and CFO of a company are missing, the average worker will
continue his work for months without noticing a change but if there is no paper
in the toilets and the garbage cans are full, the average work to the manager
knows and feels it. So on the surface we see these beautiful garments of the
Cohain Gadol, yet he could never lift his hands over his head while he was
wearing the Mitzneffet (Mitre) on his head because the Tzitz had on it “Kodesh
Le HASHEM” written on it. The priests had to be pure unto the 4th grade of Tumay for the Korbanos while
most of the Bnei Yisrael was only pure to the 2nd grade to enter the Beis HaMikdash and
the Leviim unto the 3rd grade.
So it was easy for iniquities to enter into the Kahuna and that is what this
Pasuk warns us.
2 And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy
father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and
minister unto thee, thou and thy sons with thee being before the tent of the
testimony.
After the incident with Korach, this is reconfirming that the
Leviim as a whole did not lose their holy status.
3 And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent;
only they shall not come nigh unto the holy furniture and unto the altar, that
they die not, neither they, nor ye.
The Leviim were used as guards after the Temple was built,
singers, flayers of sacrifices, maintenance personal of the Beis HaMikdash such
as washing the blood, repairing the doors and even going in blindfolded into
the Holy of Holies for plain maintenance work or with a Cohain for this. Their
job was not simple but they were also school teachers of Torah among the nation
and tithe collectors from poor farmers and towns who could not afford to travel
to Yerushalayim. They would sing the song/Psalm each day for the sacrifice as
we say at the end of the service and they would recite Hallel during the Korban
Pessach and Songs, Psalms and prayers for the other sacrifices and perhaps even
hand the wood to the Cohanim for putting on the Misbayach (altar).
4 And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the
tent of meeting, whatsoever the service of the Tent may be; but a common man
shall not draw nigh unto you. 5 And ye shall keep the charge of the holy
things, and the charge of the altar, that there be wrath no more upon the
children of Israel.
This is the guard duty of the Leviim. I am sure that just as today
we have deranged individuals, so too in Temple and Mishkan times there were
always a few who wanted to break through or thought themselves Moshiach, Cohain
Gadol, Moshe, etc.
6 And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from
among the children of Israel; for you they are given as a gift unto the LORD,
to do the service of the tent of meeting. 7 And thou and thy sons with thee
shall keep your priesthood in everything that pertains to the altar, and to
that within the veil; and ye shall serve; I give you the priesthood as a
service of gift; and the common man that draws nigh shall be put to death.'
This was the finalization from HASHEM and the generation now would
be calm for the rest of the time in the desert. This was now a time for
learning both Torah and martial arts for an emerging nation. There was very
little to do but to have the women and children graze the animals and the males
learn Torah with some tent maintenance and tailoring of clothes for the newer
generation. Food came from heaven it was a good scholarly life but the world
was not created to be an academy but to make the mundane holy. This blissful
generation would give way to the building generation. For tithes can only come
from working men and other Mitzvos too. But for now a foundation had to be
established.
… 21 And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the
tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they
serve, even the service of the tent of meeting. 22 And henceforth the children
of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.
23 But the Levites alone shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they
shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a statute forever throughout your
generations, and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
24 For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they set apart as a gift unto
the LORD, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance; therefore I have said
unto them: Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.'
Now what gifts and payments did the Leviim get for their
services?:
25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 26 'Moreover thou shalt
speak unto the Levites, and say unto them: When ye take of the children of
Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye
shall set apart of it a gift for the LORD, even a tithe of the tithe. 27 And
the gift which ye set apart shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the
corn of the threshing-floor, and as the fullness of the wine-press. … 32 And ye
shall bear no sin by reason of it, seeing that ye have set apart from it the
best thereof; and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of
Israel, that ye die not.'
The best and not as we do today as the crops are not given to the
Leviim and Cohanim but just done symbolically.
Editorial
ramblings from here and there
BREXIT is good for HASHEM and the salvation of mankind. For the
Council of Foreign Relations is interested in a one world government. However,
this is rebellion against HASHEM for after the Migdal Bavel (tower of Babel)
the human race was dispersed and will not come under one rule until the Peace
of the Moshiach at the end of days and not by artificial means made up by a few
to rule the many.
There is no story this week other than a short diary of a
vacationing Rabbi. HASHEM gave me the job of raising a Torah Genius and one
will not see it probably until I am much closer to 120 years or long gone.
Of course I did have some fun, I met my Chavrutha from my
Yeshiva after a Hiatus of 43 to 44 years when he visited Israel as a bachelor.
We did meet briefly for a dinner a number of years ago but talking was only
done on Shabbos. My friend, Lenny or as I called in the Yeshiva – Avraham
Arieh, was interested in my next installment of my return to Judaism and my
Yeshiva Days which has to be put off again but it would be almost a crime not
to mention him and our coach Rabbi Aharon Vachss Shlita but that will have to
wait.
I saw a few fellows whom I had not seen in 51 years since my
High School days. I did come in before my wife and Menashe to conduct a first
memorial service for my late friend Carl aka Chaim Zal. I made sure at the end
to mention everything from the age of three until telling his soul to free his
wife as he must rest under the glow of the Shechina now.
However, we learn from Avraham Avinu to say little and deliver a
lot. I promised Menashe to show him New York. And that I did. My wife also
found some husky boys clothing for him which we could not find in Borough Park
or Israel.
This was a week that I did not sit down and teach English in
theory to Menashe or even work on Mishnayos with him. I told him to read what
he read. I took him to see the foot prints of the World Trade Center and the
new Freedom Tower from the bottom (sorry but after being in an airplane I did
not think in worth it to pay close to $100 for three people to ride up to the
top. I am Rabbi Rachamim and not a multi-millionaire. I have to leave a few
dollars, if they will be worth anything, for my children and grandchildren as
my parents left me.
I believe in Torah and Avoda and the first thing I am doing in
educating Menashe is to give him a well-rounded education like Rabbi-Engineer
Menachem Mendel Shneersohn better known as the Rebbe or Dr. Rabbi Soloveitchik.
These Torah Giants had a background in secular studies too.
I took Menashe to Staten Island on the ferry and he saw the
Statue of Liberty as New Yorkers see her and my father’s family as they came to
Ellis Island. (My mother’s side came in the 1850’s) We then went to Borough
Park where I bought a suit and raincoat. Funny that most of the stores are
selling now raincoats without a belt and only in Wallach did I find one with. I
am heavy enough without looking like the hulk. At least the belt separates the
head from the heart and gives me figure. In Borough Park we did not find the
right shirt for Menashe’s husky size.
The next day we went to Menashe’s hobby ancient Egypt at the
Museum of Art. There we saw only a little of ancient Greece and Egypt but
Menashe had in his Genius learned to read from the Wikipedia some hieroglyphics
and was telling us things that only an expert could know.
We took him to see the planetarium and the museum of Natural
History. We had to skip places or tell him to look at the floor in certain
spots which is also why I will not bring the child to Yad Vashem but only other
Holocaust Museums for some of the photos are not modest. He was not impressed
too much by the geology and the planetarium lacked the inspiration of simple
star observance of the night sky which had brought me to being a worker on the
meteor project at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Nobody speaks to
Spica or arches to Arcturus anymore. Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Perseus
and Cetus are only stories from Yafo and not part of the northern sky.
We still have one more Museum of the State of New York in Albany
to do and Saratoga Springs.
