The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Aaron L Raskin’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

We all know the story that Korak rebelled against Moses and Aaron and then God said after Korak was swallowed up into the ground, him and his cohorts and then 250 men were burned by fire, God said now I want to give 24 gifts to Aaron and by doing so to solidify that Aaron was the chosen one. And one of the things that God did was he asked that all of the leaders of the tribe should give a stick, a staff to Moses and including Aaron and they will put the staff into the holy of holies and the staff that will produce skim which is almonds or ammons. This will be the proof that God has chosen that individual. And here the mimemer discusses this idea. Why was it specifically the the almond that was given to prove that arrow would be the high priest? It explained in the similarly in the writings of the why was it that the fruit that was produced by the stick overnight was aim was a shak was an almond. Why wasn't it a an apple or a watermelon? Why primarily a almond? voice and the answer is that the is the fastest growing fruit all other fruit take longer than the almond. Okay. That is why it's called from the word swift fast. He says we find God tells Jeremiah
