Parshas Korach: ''The Battle of the Heavens'' - What Was Korach Thinking?

this tour class is brought to you by torahanytime.com welcome everyone thank you everyone for coming the battle of the heavens what was karak thinking so a few of you mentioned that maybe some of the ideas that we're going to say this evening you've heard before so we'll try to add some matters today is a very happy day for me about Hashem I made a birth Milo this morning so uh the learning should be the host for David Israel Ben Daniel yaakov and it's simpha from it what's interesting is and I'll tell you it always bothered me when it comes to Patches look at the end of the power shot and you know there's a Sim in the military there's a cinema you look familiar there's a seven at the end of the Powershell that gives you how many tsukumar in the power shop and it always bothered me at the end of parsha's kairak it says what's the Simon Daniel Simmons now Daniel's my name and I I never felt comfortable being so closely associated with parashas Kyra it's also interesting Rashi says in the beginning of the parish the parishes also 95. gamachia Daniel so you know I think for myself it's mitsulation what does Daniel got to do with parashas Kara it's interesting that Rizal says that the words is the shot is in the end koirak is right really karach had a certain Colonel and a grain of Truth and Ms but it was misplaced it wasn't at the right time but in the end kairak is correct in fact there's a tradition that lost the level even so what's the meaning of all this what's the shot in all of this both characters do you have to put trilas on it or not what's called getting at what's what's he what's his argument doesn't need teles of course it does karach was trying to make a point Takara said like this um the whole congregation they're all holy meaning you can't have leaders what's the shot in a leader what's up shot in in Arabi Arab or Russia what do you mean one year is bigger is better is greater than another karak was arguing the same way that Talis should be part of what the Crux of the argument was since we're all great and we're all connected to ivanisham and we're almost done why do we need a leader why do we need a moisture avenu es who's really right truth is in the end we're all Gonna Know Hashem we're not going to need a rebby rub rosh hashiva the position will become obsolete in fact some service bother so whatever I'm gonna do who are they going to teach or maybe the Malachi ashore is but there's not going to be a concept of Shiva so karak had a good argument but not yet karaf's argument was premature kayak was absolutely right there was nothing intrinsically wrong other than the fact that it was premature very interesting we know how you know I mean son who answers Amin is greater than someone who makes a ratha why so there is all right the racist hakma rights that hashem's name is but it's just 26 but when you say Amen you're actually met starif the two names of Hashem is 265. so when you just say A baroque Hashem you only have one name of Hashem when you say your main your mitsari if the two names of Hashem says that right now hashem's name is Gonna Change what will his name that right now hashem's name is so then it would come out that the utke plus will not be 91. it will be your clay but plus which would be what 95. so Ider says that's 91 Allah you'll be sell on 95. before he became Rebel he used to be a bad thing that's you know that's the natural progression but does Eric says that when he was a badkin he would give a bracha darshan what's that there is a [Music] by the way I'll tell you one more soil from the safer Smith if you look impartial special Hashem eats eighths is iron Sadi what's that 160. let's chat on that I'm gonna tell you a new type of gamatria no extra charge it's called Haka smacking so let's say you have four letters you smack the first letter on the second letter on the second letter on the first letter it's called multiplication so your Decay buff K yud times hey is 50. then do hey times is another 50. that's a hundred then above times the hey is 30 then hey times above is another 30. 160. Hashem eights was making permutations of the good times the hey the hey times the yud above times but if you look in the sacrament it says that by a hespid the women what would they do they would be misepicas they would hit their hands together like this if you take you at times the hey hey times the yud good it's 200 meaning it's not going to be your Cave of okay it's going to be your k u okay the gamachu of kapha of Haka is not going to be 160 it's going to be 200 when the ladies go like that at the Ohio what they're saying is meaning we want to usher in the time that it won't be your Kev it's going to be your key yeah it's not 91 it's 95. so ask you Akasha why put in the Toyota I need to know that there was a Russia who challenged my sharabenu and argued and said why put up just skip the whole thing the answer is the Powershell of character you know when not when 91. 195. how many Daniel Simmons 95. when we get to the era of UK when we get to the era of 95 when we get to the era of diamo yeah then pasha's cut every word is Taurus Daniel knows when the kids Zoo this Tasha's mom is beautiful how beautiful 95. when will it be beautiful okay so let's just buy way of introduction has absolutely nothing to do with what we're gonna talk about tonight okay let's talk a little bit about Kaira Kaka is a smart man so if you were amounting a rebellion what kind of guys would you get on your side you're not going to get low yitzlux you're not going to get another holes you want to look good so you're going to get you know uh the biggest tummy that's a thumb you could get so the posix says um create my Aid and say shame says the most hush of members of cloud Israel you know what they know how to do they knew how to make an ibruary and to intercalate the months they were famous guys so karak got three types of people number one special people number two people knew how to intercalate and calculate the ibr and Ibraham and number three famous people salant and the barriosis was a very big fan of the safer barrier safe that's an obvious question the fact that I mean you want to get special people you want to look good if you get the nebuchos on your side then it doesn't have a good appearance it doesn't look like you're going to be on the winning team and the fact that karak got famous people also that makes sense but why would hazal say that who had a very specific Talent what they know how to do they knew how to figure out of science who cares like of Allah they knew how to intercalate the months oh I didn't say he got people who had a passing on an S rig he got people you know place he knew how to knew how to pass why do I need what kind of did he get to intercalate the months like what does that have to do with the mccoycus over here interesting Moshe comes back and fifth plastic and this is I'll let you know in the morning in the morning the rebundersome will decide and prove that I'm right Sarah she's bothered like what's happening in the morning what's wrong with now you know there's no time as good as now why is my shabino delaying until the morning so Rashi brings down hazal look at number three Rashi says then moisha is making the following argument there are boundaries in this world There are rules in this world could you change morning to evening no so too you won't be able to change the appointment of our own just like there's morning and evening as I'm separated they're Israel and koyanim and Hashem separated it so much is making an analogy he's making a marshall he's saying the same way day is day and night is night Aaron is a queen and you're not a client meaning the it's a law of nature you can't change it you can't change day and night you can't change the Kahuna is my shot using the analogy of day and night what does day and night Gotta Do With It moisture should say just like the sun rises and these so two hours of Korean most you could have used any phenomenon in nature and said just like this is the way it works so too Aaron is a clay like what's the Rya from morning and evening to the fact that Aaron is the Cayenne you know my shopping could have said you ever hear of uh Sir Isaac Newton now he was sitting one day Under The Apple Tree and the Apple fell on his head the same way everything goes down and you can change that you can change our own like what's the analogy what's the leamwood from just like you can change day and night you can't change anything what could you change what could you change in this world just like you can't take your hand and put it on your head you know what's the limit of boica okay so I'm gonna tell you a little story you know nowadays trips are very popular people like to go on trips they like to go to kavarum I'm going to tell you about a kevair I'm telling you if they would ever Market this everybody would flock you have thousands of people they're the go for the yard side I'm nobody knows that they know about this I want in okay so if anybody decides to take the idea I want at least 10 percent forget all the rabbits why doesn't anyone go to Korea I guarantee if people would go to car find out about cars Kevin it's a mom is hassle of a fella let me tell you a little bit of the good morning there's you know the adventures of rabba Barbra with the Arab the gemara says look at number four um I'm gonna show you the swallowed Congregation of Korra look Trey busy there are two cracks in the ground they have a kamaki kutra it was emanating smoke by the way just to get the you know the details right what happened to Karachi so to karak and his children they were swallowed by the ground the 250 Men what happened to them they're consumed by a fire and then the next day the people started complaining and they were consumed by uh a plague 24 700 you then died in a plane so that's the story so the Arab takes Rama barakanda to the crack in the ground so you see smoke emanating from the crack he took shearings the Imran shearings of all he soaked it in water and he stuck the the end of the spear in other words he doesn't want to stick the wool straight into the ground because he doesn't want it to burn up so he soaks the wool in water the ailei Hassam and he brings it up in other words he realized that there's a fire going on downstairs listen to what you hear me and he heard the Hava amrin moisture the tairas through the Torah is true and we're a bunch of phonies so I highly recommend if anyone's in the touring business take an Olam to this to the desert over there it reached about 122 degrees now you come with uh pump in the AC and uh it's unbelief imagine you didn't know what color they'll have these videos on their phones will go out of style this will be the biggest thing you know huh uh it wasn't looking what it says [Music] so the Arab said they're liking a pot in the ground you know chilling patio meat in the patron pot and the the fire is kicking up the meat up and up and up and up is going in a circle says the Gamora every 30 days kairak resurfaces and says that we don't know exactly when karak says this does he say this on on Mondays on Tuesdays on Arab Shabbos like it's all the gemara says this every 30 days says the rash bam call Plus Every Rose Club Dash cut it off resurfaces to the ground to the surface of the Earth and says this should also be a very convenient way to know whether there's one day depending on you know when Kara says what's the shot over here why does karak dafka come up on what connection to that he specifically comes up on this I let's try to understand a little bit what in the world was correct thing Kara comes and challenges nepotism you're trying to keep it in the family it's not fear I'm really from the next in line to be the kind God or why are you giving it well taaron I should be at least the Nasi why giving it to me I don't understand take Aaron take his begotten put on him and bring Bristol to the entrance now how big is not that big maybe it's the size of the tent over there now how many years did are there three million yet then how many people fit in the tent over there Place 200 300 could you get three thousand no he had thirty thousand enough you got 300 000 you got three million for sure not and let's say somebody said I will now fit in three million inches in a ten so he's doing a nice negle he's doing on my face and you know he's got something going so I have a question when Moshe gathered all of Claus you saw to the yoyo Moyet to a point Aaron with karakalir that day or he took the day off takes three million Jews and he stops them in a box he sees a nice niggler so what's Clara thinking it's not a real Miracle it's not real he sees a nation so what is kairak's point of contention what's his problem does he really think my shavena made it up how then is moshabbin performing a feat that nobody ever did before and when karak sees that when they put up the mishkan for seven days Rashi brings down that the seven days of the minglum put up the mishkan and he took down the mishkan and all of Christ was looking where's the cloud where's she brings down they're all ashamed they're all embarrassed they said the whole avoid the whole effort the whole work of setting up the mishkan is for not because the screen is not coming down and Maisha said Hashem I can't do it you can do it Kara can't do it you'll see what happens Aaron will do the avoida and the shrina will come down and on the Eighth Day Aaron came in he did the avoida and Bam the screener came down on the Mishka and the posix says I have a question did carac show up that day or he played hooky that day kairak was there he sees Aaron coin wearing the big day Kahuna he sees nobody else could bring down the Sheena except for arena coin so what was going on in Kara's mind when he sees arrow and Julieta and the screener comes out but he thought it was an optical illusion he thought it was Hocus Pocus of course not what was going on in his mind you know when Hashem gave the turret to my chavena where was Claudia Style we the ramban rights plus success on that means as follows one of these soide huamuna is that Revolution did not just give the Toyota came down and gave the target is Hashem elevated every single Jew to the level of a navi so that we were able to see Hashem speak directly to my shopping meaning Hashem is talking to Maisha one-on-one and we're all elevated to have the prophetic Vision to see the creator of the universe speaking to my shopping so that we don't have to take moshe's word for it but we rely on it because we saw it with our own eyes that is that we saw with our own eyes Revenge some speak to my shopping that day or he went to matrayam on a tour where was karak on the day that the Evangel gave the tournament karak was standing there he became a navi and he saw him speak Maisha Miller meaning to have the closest connection to everybody so emotional comes down now this Hashem didn't tell my children I take Aaron but when Masha then selects aroin what's going on in Kara's mind karak knows that Hashem didn't raise him up to be the noise so what in the world is kairak thinking no there's a gamara nadaram by the way the questions I'm asking you come primarily from tusvarum from the safer barrier safe and also the safer some Dara of repsimclasis born in 1911 and he was born in the uh famous uh strausser he was born in the khatsura of Robert Burger Amsterdam if you look in the maidiri on araven it was published by uhuda rashiva so he asks also many of the questions that we're dealing with tonight foreign [Applause] the sun and the moon are not in this of all the sun and the moon are in the rakia what are they doing in this wall says the gemara the Sun and the Moon came with kindness to rebunisher and the Sun and the Moon said if you don't defend Maisha rabenu we quit we're not working anymore We're Not Gonna Shine we're not going to work we're not going to facilitate and service the world if you don't defend my shabano by the way I'm quoting now on page three the left hand sign on the top is from the bay area safe that if you let this insurgence happen if you let this Rebellion happen we quit we will no longer Shine for the world until the Revenge some had to shoot the Sun and the Moon with arrows until they decided to go back to work so you know that was the first strike in history first strike in history was the Sun and the Moon but this is the first time that people are doing the wrong thing what happened by The Mirage in the Sun and Moon said well if these guys you know could give this bad report that's it we're not gonna so We're Not Gonna Shine in oh what that wasn't enough if those guys make that cow that's it day is over night is over we're finished that colleagues were very critical of my Shabana if he would ever come early to this year the the it says they say why is this year what it can get along with his life he has to come early and if he would come late because I'll say a very scary thing very disturbing things of what Claudia store said he beats Gomorrah why ain't the sun on the moon say to speak about the Royal motion that's it the lights are off for three days we're going on strike like why all of a sudden now when the episode of kairak pink look now the Sun and the Moon decides they're going on strike well what do they got to do with this machlaikusai you know there's apostle says this is this will prove that Hashem sent me listen carefully kiloi milibi [Music] this proves Hashem sent me one thing it should just says that's exactly it's repetitive it's a purple it's the same exact idea what happened to karach he swallowed says there are a lot of ways to go la maves a lot of ways to go by the ground and finally something very difficult to understand the passion here you know all of a sudden kairak is here his son is there you know the other one is in that tent and all of a sudden the Earth opens up its mouth oh I'm hungry there it says I'm gonna stop a car after the order about my Cafe son for the main course the other son for dessert how do cloudy so react not impressed so fire comes down and destroys the 250 men not impressed so amake for comes 24 700 destroyed not impressed so what does Maisha do he says his stick was browned I mean give me a break it's the oldest trick in the book you know you could buy a kid in the store with a stick oh you want to see and you pull a cloth out of us I mean that's impressive to cloudy soil the fact that a mouth of the ground opens up and swallows koirak and his children that's not impressive and the fact that a fire consumes after the 25th no but the the stick trick yeah the stick trick is older than the hills you know who can't do the stick tray that's what's impressive to call you swallow what's the meaning of the Mateo yifra why does that quiet down the rebellion of Thai song so we asked 10 questions 10 questions let's just as they're over very quickly number one we wanted to know why did cairoth take who cares why do you need to know the abhishana number two why does karak use the argument just like their ghoula is so too you can't change the Kona why does resurface number three dash number four they all saw the miracle that our own gathered everyone wasn't that enough to prove that Aaron icon deserves to be the coyingado number five they saw the Sheena come down when Aaron did the avoido doesn't that show that Aaron should be coming Odo number six they were all in the VM karak was a navi and he saw the revolution speak to my shopping obviously is not making this stuff up number seven why did the Sun and the Moon decide to get involved in this match Like Us number eight what is so compelling about the trick of the stick what's the double La shine this is swallowed by the ground so 10 questions is a lot of questions but the good news is there's only one answer there's only one answer I'm going to tell you over a Tyson Health cup for a minute Rabino town the gamara says three things Maisha abena did his three things I'm not sure of any numbers one of them was up he's separated from siparo and then the Revenge them came and gave him a big endorsement [Applause] you stay with me you can't go back to your wife tractors how do you know my shabano decided to be polisha and then Hashem endorsed it by saying she came down from arsinai and asham said foreign Hashem told Manchester being on our Sinai money and foreign straight up separate from your wife then would Miriam and Aaron ever criticize Maisha and passions separated from his wife who does he think he is but Hashem speaks to us and we didn't have to separate what how would they dare speak Russian Hashem it must be who came up with the iron file on his own and only afterwards Hashem was masking practices but still Hashem good Gazette good argument you did right very nice beautiful Hashem said you did the right thing so how could Aaron and Miriam Speak doesn't matter whether Moshe thought of it first and then went along bottom line is Hashem said you need to be away from your wife so what's Miriam and Aaron speaking about moisture foreign was Avada Hashem told you to do it but you know why Hashem told you to do it because you wanted to do it and Adam right now you're at Sadiq you wanted a beer from me you want to be Postman Aisha it was wrong to want it it was wrong to desire it and Hashem went along with you because you twisted hashem's arm Ando you did the wrong thing you're an ivarian and they spoke they spoke Abraham gave him a huskama Hashem only told him it's okay Hashem said okay you want to do it because but it's really ideally Hashem held it was the wrong thing to do but Hashem said apostle because moisha wanted it so Maisha Minnesota speak Twisted hashem's arm Emma sharpino so to speak abused his kayak of being at Sadiq and he said I want to be said whatever you want but it doesn't mean that that's really what Hashem wants in other words it comes out from here a very frightening idea that Assad they could make on my face and really it's the wrong thing to do so I had decided to do it is the fact that someone could change nature doesn't mean he's doing the right thing he wants to do it so Hashem likes to take him so he goes along with him even against his own will you know the famous story of the Prophet Siam they would come to us if it's not new you're exactly foreign [Music] to want things which are not really correct and the rebunction will go along with it because he's a moisturable but Miriam were wrong it's not the shot that much wanted it for his own agenda Hashem was masking to him Moshe wasn't twisting hashem's arm it was the right thing for Maisha to want it and only then Hashem was masking now listen carefully says the barrier is safe says here's the time of Kara did Hashem to appoint Aaron that is it the right thing for measure Point Aaron yes so what's your timer didn't you see the shrina come down on the mikdash when Aaron did the avoida didn't you see the moisture gather wall of claw Israel so what's your time now he says my Taino is the reason Hashem told my to appoint Aaron is because Maisha has to be banished him I want to appoint that one so she said you're my shy I love you you're the girl out there whatever you want but if you would have been a Sadiq tahar you wouldn't have said rebanish them I want to appoint Aaron he would have said I want to appoint who's best for Kali Israel and if you would have gone to ibane then the revolution would have told you you know who's best for Claude Israel I'm best for Kanye was you're twisting the hand of God Hashem told you to appoint Aaron but Hashem told you to appoint iron because you dive in and asked me bunch of them that he should appoint that was the time of Korea and to bolster his argument brought with him he bought specialists what kind of specialists there is one area of halacha that it doesn't matter what Hashem says and it doesn't matter what the metsius is whatever the say they make the where is that area Vegas everybody knows the famous Story the Adam comes from gamliel they said yesterday we didn't see it today we saw it was impossible you have a woman who's expecting NJ she gave birth and the next day she's expecting again it's not possible that you don't see the moon and then you do see the moon and review sure said it can't be Rose you're gonna come to me on the day that you think it's Yom Kippur with your money belt and your stick and you're gonna be Mahalo Yom Kipper he was upset to have to do this and he was upset was like twisting his arm and he goes to ravia kivan where bikini says no don't be upset this is how kilda's works it doesn't matter when the Rebellion says it doesn't matter is whenever Ram Gamaliel passkins it's time so even if it's not right it is Misha you're a chakran you know why Hashem said to appoint Aaron because you task in Orange because Hashem goes along with that much is gonna say what the Three Brothers films the world it's not my world I don't make that look uh rebellious see these guys you know what they could do they could say today's and it doesn't go by when they say the same way that to change the reality and the devotion will be mask said that's what you're doing what you're doing is do me a favor let's keep it a family business let's Point Aaron and Hashem will say no problem the same way Hashem says no problem so Moshe comes back and says no you're making a mistake over here I'm telling you that's toyra it's Dave I passed again today attempt I possibly insane I possibly everyone should put on fill in so you take the guy and you throw them at the door why what do you mean soil half mates will only have kayak over the khadesh is immutable you can't change itself say drink the dalcois is beyond get lost you can't change your name and Lila you could change you could change you can't change you got these these guys who know how to be mad brother my argument is the appointment of arrowing is analogous not to the months it's analogous to day and night the same way boica [Applause] nobody could change day and night nobody could change Kahuna that's like us kairak is using the Sun and the Moon in terms of ibrahima and Moshe is using the the sun in terms of Lila oh so the Sun and the Moon say kayak is abusing us kayak is using us to defend him kayak is citing invoking the celestial bodies the Shemesh theoreac to support his argument that's it we're alone We're Not Gonna Shine We're not gonna work we're not gonna service normally the Sun and Moon they don't get involved in the miraculous nothing to do with them but now korak is utilizing them to support his checker that's it then we're not here for that we're here at the Surly motion we're not here to support the arguments of Kaira says okay Marsha so you didn't tell Hashem to appoint Aaron but I'll tell you why the Ivan shama appointed Aaron Hashem loves you so much that he looked into your heart with a microscope and he saw in the in your lathe that you wanted iron so the reason why he appointed Aaron is not because you told him but because he saw that you really wanted Aaron but if your heart would have been pure and your heart would have been tahar and then you're the in your life you would have wanted was best for Claudius raw then the revolution would have appointed me this will prove that Hashem sent me LMI Clark would say okay fine Hashem sent you but maybe because you know why Hashem wanted Aaron because you wanted him not because you said anything but because he wanted it in other words your heart willed Hashem and twisted hashem's arm so much uses a double expression not only because you I didn't even want it says if you look in the Deep recesses of my heart my leave is so pure in my heart you know what it beats I hope that we launch some selects who was ever best for cloudy strong my sharabino didn't even want our own that's the argument of moisture Havana [Music] followed by the ground clay so I'm not impressed you know why you know what Kaliso said you know why swallowed my Shabana went he died he said we bunch of some I wanted our own stick up for me if anything the fact that karak was swallowed just got cloudy so I'm more Angry it didn't show Moshe was right it showed that tank of the mushroom goes along with whatever my shabino says so we need to do something where moshabino says something and the Revenge song takes it even further and more than moishrabino said it's just going to Blossom and the posix says I shouldn't say that this was something that the rebunishment was demonstrating not because moisha suggested or moshrabino wanted it this was himself you know the there's a story that some cyphers come sorry for you went to the mineral baths the famous mineral bass and Carlsbad and Marine bad words and he was once in the mineral bath and all of a sudden the door closed and the door locked and it was full of steam and it was because to die in such a terrible way he's being buried alive so he thinks he thinks he thinks like at Sadiq what could he have done to deserve such a thing so gemara says that the gamara says in Shabbos he said it must be passed away and I wasn't masked with him if I come out I'm going to investigate who passed away and sure enough he didn't know or of Davido talks about him he would find out about it and the doors open what do you see from here especially in the summer we hope to go to the camera the hafla now floss as you see from here that somebody who doesn't treat him should be buried alive why is that the punishment so everybody knows that when Kalisa was offered the Torah they said what so why do we need Cafe gigas Hashem had a suspend the mountain overhead that means someone who's not Mercado the tourist about pair is he buried alive he wasn't the capital of the tourism of the ground swallowing was not a coiffer in terrorism but he was challenging not that the torch About Pets didn't come from he was challenging the moisture the tars that their motivations were not pure that their motivations were somewhat with self-interest was challenging the Taurus of au pair mamela Roy Le cover and he was swallowed so here's The Clincher so as the tick on car has a tick on he screams out what moisha Ms the soyrus IMs says the barrier safe and one is because he tried to abuse the kayaking he tried to say I'll bring you a Raya you're abusing the karate the same way could say today's even though it's not you Maisha could say Aaron's a coin even though he shouldn't be so therefore in order to be a masaki man or to correct then or to do chuva every surfaces and karach says and declares and ultimately ifrah thank you everyone for listening wish everybody is you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
