Real unity

Korach wanted that all should be equal, and seemed to be seeking unity. Isn’t that a good thing?

Listen to a short explanation on this based on the teachings of Chassidus, delivered by Rabbi Berel Bell, rav of Anash Montreal.

When is criticism good?

Listen to a short but important life lesson we learn from the story of Korach, delivered by Chicago shliach Rabbi Boruch Epstein.

Reb Levik on Korach (New)

Korach caused machlokes, which stems from gevura. This is also hinted in Korach’s name.

Listen to an explanation on this Mishnah from the Rebbe’s father, delivered by Rabbi Moshe Gourarie, an editor of Chassidus Mevueres on Tanya.

What were Doson & Avirom thinking? (New)

Unlike Korach who claimed that Moshe and Aharon were making decisions on their own, Doson and Avirom said that even if they would hear from Hashem Himself that Moshe and Aharon were right, they wouldn’t cease their opposition. What would cause them to say something so outrages?

Listen to a short discussion on the topic, delivered by Rabbi Mendel Krasnjanski, Rosh Yeshiva – Yeshivas Levi Yitzchok, Melbourne Australia.

Hiskashrus in Halacha
