Good evening everyone. Yesterday we read in a Shul Parashat Korach The story of Korach and 250 Nesi'ei Eida rebelling against Moshe Rabbenu. This story is very difficult to understand how it's even possible that it happened. Because if they opening a company here in Brooklyn, a big building, it's called Microsoft. And then Mr. Bill Gates bring one guy and he say to everyone, "He is my representative over here. He's running the show. You know, he has my number, my secret number, I give him instruction, my email. Everything that needs to be done here, he's the boss." he's the boss." And he left. Is it possible that a week after all the company is making a merit rebelling against this representative after the boss came and say he's the boss here. How can it be such thing? The managers, the presidents there, whatever. Once he came and he say he's the authority. No questions asked. He's the boss. I speak to him, not to you. Very difficult. What's going on here? What's the reason that Korach came against Moshe Rabbenu? Now, when you read it in the level of kindergarten, you think, you know, Korach is a jealous person, lashon hara, politician, he wants a job. They didn't give him a position, he got angry, he's jealous. Not so simple. Especially when the Torah tells us clearly that Korach has Ruach Hakodesh. Korach had Ruach Hakodesh. He saw a vision that Shmuel Hanavi comes from him.
