Korach & Chukas - Staff of Moshiach

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Parsha Podcast with Ari Goldwag’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

You're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Goldwag, recorded with Hashem's never-ending assistance in Ramat Beit Shemesh, Israel, 5782, 2022. This week in chutz la'aretz, the parsha is parshas Korach, and in Eretz Yisrael, it's parshas Chukas. And before we get into the parsha, before we get into an amazing idea connecting the two parshas, very deep idea about Aaron HaKohen, I'd like to just mention to you something which I mention once a year. We're coming into parshas Balak and Pinchas, and baruch Hashem, I and give what you can. Specifically, I don't know if you you noticed, but you may have, that the quality of the video over the past 2 weeks had dropped, and now we're back because my camera had an issue. This is a baruch Hashem, a very nice camera, an expensive camera, and there was so uh something broke in the camera, and it was about $600, and we ended up doing other things with the upgrade, ended up being about $1,000 to take care of the camera. The camera, of course, is part of the divrei Torah, to give over the divrei Torah with a Parshas Korach, and how Aaron the Cohen, it seems from the beginning of Parshas Chukas, across the Parah Adumah. There's a very interesting idea in regards to Aaron the Cohen that we'll see in the Ramban together. But let's start off in Parshas Korach. In Parshas Korach, so we have the challenge. Korach comes with his challenge to Aaron the Cohen. Korach says, "Why is Aaron the Cohen being singled out for specialness? Why is he the the high priest? Why are all of the Levi'im, why are all of us, why aren't we all special? Why are some more special than others?
