PARSHAS KORACH: A LESSON IN SEVERAL PRINCIPLES OF OUR EMUNAH 0 Shiur by Rabbi Nachum Scheiner

Today Shabas Kesh is also I would like to speak about on the part but something that's connected to the Pik says after the was that the ground opened up. Read the Pik inside. The ground split open and they fell in and also the money. The Mishna says in office that one of the things that were created was this hole that fell in. One of the one of the things that the Assured Varim that were were created bashes the Ramban asks in the para why was it necessary to have a unique creation of this hole for to fall in we see in the tea there's something called an earthquake and anytime a lot of times when there's an earthquake the ground opens up. So what's the over here that the ground open up these earthquakes and the ground opens up that there had to be a creation of this whole says that there's a difference an earthquake when there's an earthquake yes the ground opens up but the ground stays open you see sometimes after an earthquake a lake or a river, a stream starts running through or these like water goes into that hole. But this then after the ground opened up and they fell in and then the ground got covered again like what the Pik says afterwards after they fell in that the ground closed back up. Then already the kdesh that's the kdesh over here that happened this week's para that after they fell they went into the ground. Okay. So these earthquakes and then you have a rescue team to come help people to come out. But here that the ground covered over that already that's over here that was created created or the whole what say which part was created? I would say you're asking what part exactly is created. I think what I would say is the whole thing. The Mishna says pit pit really means the whole fre the whole I mean holes happen all the time. I think the answer to your question is is that the hole was created an addition with that with a covered [Music] when you good. We're going to get to the gared right now. Very good. Very good. I'm I'm glad I prepared. I'm on the right track over here. Very good. Very good. So bet as we said now that it's not just that the the ground opened up and they fell in it also got covered over. So when it got covered over so finished it's covered over you can't see and taka can't see. However, like you said, the garbas it's also Gomorra Sanhedrin. The Gomorrah says there was a story. But the garumar brings many stories over the arm and the garumar says with Rabbana. Rabana was go was walking in the midbar and the says autrabia. He saw Rabana and he told Raana come let me show you something very interesting. I want to show you the place. There's a crack in the ground. Igmar says that they stuck in cotton. He says, "Put your ear to the crack to the crack over here." The ground and in here are the the kak under the ground. He put his ear there and the garra says that he heard the sounds of of them saying And the Gomorrah says that every you could hear it today is it's so that's why I want to speak about this a little bit. Every you're able to hear if you know the place. We don't really know. We don't know where the place is, but if you know where the place is by that crack and you listen, you're able to hear how they're saying. Very interesting. The in this week's para says when the POS says that they ran away, they ran away. You would learn means, you know why they ran away? Because they heard to those that were being swallowed into the ground were yelling. They ran away. They also shouldn't they also shouldn't uh be swallowed in. But says the already then they were saying and they heard that that's why they ran away. Meaning to say is they saw that so they were wrong. They themselves what does it mean? They were saying Mosha. We'll see in a minute what exactly how does that come in? But basically what they were saying was is that we made a mistake. Why every I mean obviously you could hear every but technically if it goes around like on a wheel like the Gammorra says cuz the as of Ghanim is over there. yourself. It goes around like a piece of meat roasting and it turns. So technically they're saying it all the time. But why is it that you can hear it every says and challenged by saying and why is it that you are what exactly did want? There should be a bunch of kahan and how's that possible? These are there should be a few of them says the mash wanted these 12 mim every month another should be should switch off. Did you see the concept these mashers for the kahan wanted every month there should be a different kind god says the marsh therefore every month also what say you want every month also it could be on the positions you should you should have a rotation on the positions so therefore so therefore therefore which technically was hey now Now there should be the Nazi the next Nazi should be able to be the kind and for that for that that's why there's another on on the that he says why onesh cuz what happened what's brings us there was the lavan was the same size as the the as the son and the said it can't be the same because therefore it's the same idea there should be a lot of it's not possible you can't have more than one what were they saying in the ground what are they still saying It's interesting. They could have uh could have been there saying why explains the brisker. We have the gimmel the 13 imams. We have made a mira we had hundreds of thousands of people to to say it every single day. Theim speak about they have different different numbers. The Rambam in Piranayas in Sanhedrin the Rambam lists 13 the Rambam it it's long cuz each one we have 13 anims in short he goes through each one and he he brings the makyus for before saying the 13 the Rambam says what a person has to remember it's extremely important Our sell and then he goes through he brings the number seven and number eight. Number seven is in other words we believe it's one of the but we believe in the and then also number eight all the that we have is was given by says the briskov. If you take a look in these two of the im these two the says in the beginning in other words they they were kerosenuhenu said that should be the godle and they said No. What? Who? Who said what you're saying? In other words, they were in the ofenuh this is not of this is that was the and said should be the god and they they challenged that. So they did not believe in the moenu. And they were also and Rashi says that said you have of course it doesn't need if the whole talis is white you just have to put one string of titsus that's blue. If you have the whole bag with blue that you have to have that the string should also be blue. This is the in other words as we'll see shortly what was to it was that it's And for thatu said by when he said to everyone they should bring the sticksuhenu said you're going to see that I'm in other words I'm avi says in In other words, I didn't make up the and therefore that was when they went into the ground they were saying. Why would because what they were is saying that is not if you take a look at the sup says if you take a look in the when he speaks the the eighth which is So he brings the in our para in other words he brings the that we just mentioned as on this said I'm going to bring the many others say the ordaler has pages long to be like this the previous current's grandfather or he had even great-grandfather also speaks about this this was the gammor that they say and you can hear it today is as a kapor on the two things the that they were that and also is safe and also in to his safer. He says that the reason why they had to have this particular inish, this particular and this will answer your question. What's your name? Sorry. Mayor, we were learning before a mayor asked why is it that you find that the theas got such a such a that they got swallowed into the ground? I mean these other that happened such a unique says the pawn off is unbelievable by mountain Tyra like it says we're coming off and would not take the would be they would be buried under the mountain would had to be buried under the ground. That's why it had to happen like that. And he says also that um the reason it happened if they don't take the was to take and he says over here they didn't believe in any of the anything that that goes into what the means they didn't believe in. So that's why they had such a How taka did they get to such a let's call it such a I don't know if the right word is low but such a unbelievable not to believe in and not to believe in the was in the is going to believe in you says that thehat was is that they had kina they wanted also be the kahan when a person asks ka even if a person knows what the emis is he gets derailed absolutely they knew that was the knew that was but the kina derailed And he says that's why right when the came and the noticed that the ka destroyed them of course for they always knew for but because of the ka they went so far to not believe in Moshe not to believe in the not to believe the is that the kind of like they they they kind of lost they lost black. Besides that, there was no amunos. The Tory says after the whole story, the Pik says What's not the cuz they didn't believe in mo they didn't believe in the Tyra. The Gomorra Sanhedrin says it's a Gomorra. They were as we spoke up until now in two of the 13 anim imams but by but they they made a big uproar or big and the says it's to be some of the which the is that it's the brings it lists that it's alive it's brought In the beginning of the lists out that if somebody speaks lash he's over in multiple and then one of them he says that if a person speaks lash and they speaking it's anytime a person causes Mus gets involved in fuels he's over and so if we stop right here first of all we spoke up until now a per when a person asks can a person could be so derailed that he missed two of he kind of they missed the two of the imams now we see v how the says came out of this and if a person's He's over the Ramban actually understands that it's not if somebody's it's of somebody's they said that everybody else should be there should be other says the Ramban That's it's not when the Tory says, it's alive not to be but to be the Rambam yet learns even a step further. The Rambam says that when the Tyra says not to be like Ky, it's not alive at all. The raw init before the say for the raw what does he count for a mitzvah what doesn't he count for a mitzvah and the raam says in that not every time when the tyra says meaning to say is the word doesn't mean a laugh sometimes it's which means Means the Tyra is saying you see what just happened now this is going to help and is going to cause that it shouldn't happen again it shouldn't happen but not that it's alive the same like the but what yes it's going to happen like the says like brings that what's going to happen the gammorra says is gets because spoken cloud. So when he put his hand in his pocket and he took it out at for um called speak but there's no some say there's learns the is speaking about something else it's speaking about being says it's not at all whether if it's alive or it's not And like what the Ramb the Rambam learns that it's that this should help and enable that it shouldn't happen. Mus is terrible. Just want to quote a line or two from the Rambam. The Rambam wrote a letter to his son. The Rama wrote a letter to his son and and it's called the Garaser that he writes to his son and in the middle he says don't disgust yourself with he says it destroys a person physically. It deteriorates his body is his soul. The and a person loses his money because of and if a person loses his body his nephesh his soul and his money what else is left so he's telling his son stay away from is at any cost it's not worth it. says the Rambam I see families fell apart people lost their positions a person when he gets involved in he could be a s a very powerful person but once he's involved in he's doing it because of and he he could do such a wrong thing that he'll lose his position cities got destroyed on and on how terrible able it is. And he says that the philosophers tried to explain how bad is and they didn't even get to the end how far it is just even beginning how terrible it is. So from whether if it's alive or it's not alive it's like what the say it's terrible. Just to conclude, a very important wanted of a of course because of that he came not to believe in the ofenu and of course terrible mus. But let's go back to the beginning wanted he wanted to have he was a he wanted to have kohuna [Music] says the galant he was killed his yard was this past Sunday and he says the following this is avoid a person has to understand and know that the wants his avoid exact exactly in the position he is. A person shouldn't think that if I would have a different job, I would be in a different co I would be in a different yeshiva. I would live in a different neighborhood in a different town. Then it would be perfect. Then I would be able to do exactly I'll be able to dive in properly and learn properly. Of course, if a person is in one sh and he feels he could den better in a different shah he does it with he could better these people that move to a different town when they have to that's not what he's saying but if a person has to be where he has to be this is his position this is what he's doing but his mind is telling him if only I would be somewhere else I'll be able to dive in better I'll be able to learn better I'll be able to strike better that's a mistake that's a mistake The balum says over here the balum says there are three you wanted. So the the balaturator brings there are three in that say over here and then also inash says you want to know how to be how to find me is talking about the just connects the three of them from exactly where you you are if a person is a lady you shouldn't think if I would be able to be imagine I'll be able to be the I'll be able to go that's like the level no the wants that we should be we should work from where we are and this same you find also in the B the stall the brings whose yard site is is yard site is uh was just now middle of he brings he says we say so brings so he says what does it mean you shouldn't be on the place you are if this is where you are whether if it's the physical place Or it's the place in a yeshiva and a job whatever mat a person is your heart on the place is not to be he says meaning to say if the put in a certain place in a certain position that's thee and we should be all of us wherever we are in arrow position to be able to grow v a good and a wonderful shabas
