Okay, good morning, friends. Shamali gonna have Shabbos. We're We have amazing shirim this morning on parshas Korach and other important topics. Here we go. The first subject that we're going to speak about is Smuchim Yad. We're going to try to explain the juxtaposition of parshas Korach to the end of parshas Shelach. No, actually, I discovered something amazing. Because this whole series is based on the fact that there's a significance to the juxtaposition of the parshiyos. Did you ever notice? Sometimes Rashi says, "Lama nismacha parshas, let's say last week, lama nismacha parshas Meraglim leparshas Miriam?"

When does Rashi say "Lama nismacha?" When does Rashi not say "Lama nismacha?" Furthermore, Rashi this week explains the juxtaposition, but he never asks "Lama nismacha?"

We know that parshas Korach >> [clears throat] >> uh begins with a Korach's mutiny. And it's juxtaposed to the topic of tallis and tcheiles at the end of Shelach. And the Medrish says openly, "Vayikach Korach, what did he take?" Says the Medrish, "Mach shiv lema'ala min u, what does it say above? As long as tzitzis." Korach jumped, and he tells Moshe, "Tallis shekulo tcheiles, is it chayiv or patur?" So, Moshe says, "Chayiv." Korach says, "A tallis that's all tcheiles can patur itself, and four strings patur?" And then Korach says, [clears throat] "By a small swarm,
