Parshat Korach: The Danger of Envying Someone Else’s Plate

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Hidabroot - Torah & Judaism’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Korah, what did you do, Korah? What are you doing, man? Don't you see that you you you're dragging yourself down to the lowest depths? No. When a person is jealous, when he's hungry, a righteous person eats to satisfy his soul, but the belly of the wicked will be lacking. The wicked are always hungry, always lacking, always looking at someone else's plate. Korah was as rich as Korah. He was great. He was wise. He was Aaron's cousin, a man with the Holy Spirit. He saw that Samuel would come from him. He thought that because he would have Samuel, he would defeat Moses and Aaron.
