 | In Shuls throughout Chutz Le’oretz (the diaspora) the Sidrah (Torah portion) we read this week begins with the gripping episode of Korach challenging the authenticity of Moshe Rabeinu's leadership, bringing into question whether Moshe was truly a selfless transmitter of the word of Hashem. Korach's accusations of nepotism were dramatically proven false as he and his cohorts were swallowed alive by an earthquake. |
Rabbi Shraga Kallus of Yerushalayim asks a question. The Talmud Bavli (Sanhedrin 109b) relates that even though one of Korach's initial coup supporters was Oin the son of Peles, he ultimately backed out and was saved from death due to the sharp witted intervention of his wife.
