4 Incredible Lomdishe Questions on Parshas Korach

Okay, good morning everyone. We're going to do a little lum. Let's first uh try to break down theim when summons and there's an expression uses that's a extra expression dispatches to call the sons of what do they say? Who remembers? What do they say? No, we're not coming. It's not enough that you took us out of a land flowing with milk and honey to kill us in the desert. Now you want to be a ruler over us. You're not giving us a land flowing with milk and honey. You're not giving us fields, vineyards, which by the way, maybe Wednesday night we're going to discuss what in the world are saying. You didn't get you're not giving us fields and vineyards so we don't have to listen to you. And if Mosha would give them fields and vineyards, then they would have to listen to them. They you only have to listen to the ruler. If he gives you a field, okay, Wednesday night, I think we're going to discuss that. But then say, "Even if you poke out their eyes or our eyes, we're not coming." Did you ever notice that said twice? They start off by saying, "Why does say two times?" So you say, well, it's, you know, for for dramatic effect. Let's say you ask somebody to come somewhere. They say, I'm not coming. I'm not coming. Okay, that might be how somebody talks. But why would the Torah record two times that says Lala? You hear the question? Everyone hears the question? Who's going to say over the question? Nissim, what's the question? say twice that they're not coming. Why did the Torah report that they said it twice that they're not coming? Good. So in the it's quoted in the in the name of Hagr name of the briskari we do the grisk. Yeah the briskar says like this he says mushrainu had two statuses you know nowadays people are very into status. What's your status? You know, Moshau had two stat how do you say status in plural? Statuses not stat eye. Okay. Moshabenu had two statuses. Number one, he's the head of the he's the ni and the number two he's the mel. So have two independent obligations to listens to. Number one, Moshabenu is the number two is the mel and they still refused. So first they said we're not going to listen to you as your in your capacity as the head of the we're not listening to you. You're the no we're not listening to you as a mel. And then the says was very upset. Why was he upset? Because even though could be but yeah that's the brisk. So tells says actually it comes out very beautiful in the does if anybody ever learns say for the Gar over there constantly quotes that that all the of summoning someone to ad are learned out from summoning you know you know there's a very interesting one by the way does anybody know are you allowed to speak lash if it's true lash if it's true. Everybody knows of course not if it's false it's how do you know so one of the seinal proofs the brings that you know how to speak if it's true is because the garra says that bezden how do you know if somebody mistreats the ofden bezdon sends out a to summon someone and someone abuses the how is how do we know that the is allowed to tell the dispatcher we learn it out from the fact that they told what said You're allowed to speak lash and har the the could tell the best what somebody did to them but but ordinarily you cannot report back but it says time it was true over there this is the proof that is even if it's true just to have that the source that is also even if it's true from the that how do you know you're allowed to go report tod soak So we see the Gmorra's understanding that they were obligated to listen to Mosha and his capacity of to that said and then they said you want to be the king and you want to exert authority. What's the lion? The Russian is by the way by the way a little trivia question. What word in the kish has the biggest gumatria? Tare tough. Tough. Yeah. Tough sin. Tough. R tough sin. Tough. 1500. 1 1500. Okay. So basically um theim fit in very beautifully that first Mosa calls them as like the mat learns out and they respond and thenu tries to exercise his authority as mel and they say no no you can't be a mel by the way I want to I'm going to give you a little hint okay but make believe you didn't hear this because we're going to talk about more Wednesday night what do They say, "Oh, you didn't bring us to a land flowing with milk and honey. You didn't give us fields and vineyards. We're not listening to you." What does it have to do with listening to Mishabenu? What if Mishabenu would have given them fields and vineyards? Then they would have to listen to him. So, let's just talk about a very brief sug. So there's a big question in where does that apply? When do you have to follow the laws of the government? The opinion of the is that only applies in does not apply in you knew that Ran remember that the following the laws of the government only applies in the diaspora but not in why so the ran quotes that gentile kings we say because they own the land therefore they could say to you if you don't follow the law get off my land but we do not apply the rule of the government can't say well if you don't like it get off the land I own the land it's my land it's not your land it's my land every Jew has a share in Israel so the points out now we understand [Applause] says to I don't believe that what you're telling us is coming from Hashem so Misha says Okay, you don't have to believe that, but I'm still the mel and you have to listen to me because so Mosha comes back to and says, "Look, we could debate whether you think I'm divinely sent or not. But one thing you have to concede to is I'm the mel and if I'm the mel you have to listen to me. [Music] So says, "No, you didn't bring us into the land. You didn't give us fields. You didn't give us vineyards. If you would have given us ka, so it's your ka and you would have given it to us, then we would be to listen to but you didn't give us ka." So now in the midbar it's there's no living here in the midbar without we are not subject to your authority as a melik. Okay, let's let's uh ask another ready for the kasha in ch one of the most famous. We know the whole debate between is is kyak obligated to accept the authority of mosh raenu because mosh raenu is the sarsurra. He's he's the one who brought the Torah down to Israel and is challenging the the divine authority of why aren't the people who rebelled against because they're if would have been then we wouldn't have to discuss whether is is to if you rebel against you're So was also a why isn't it's a famous what do we need this whole para you know says straight up a king if he's a king if you don't listen to him you're a rebel yeah we once discussed this the maliel who says that moshabenu's malus is different than malus based malus based is a sovereignty of royalty mobu's malus came from the fact that he's the ishelim and he's the nora therefore his malus is guided by dra not melik yes he is a mel but he's not a melik like the malus based the malus based the is because he's theim he's he's elevated above all of Israel. He's the of like it says in that those who learn Tory are endowed with Malus that Malus belongs to them. It's tora delay. It becomes Malus delay and he's able to be um Malus. Okay, one more shakasha and then we'll sum it up. Okay. the Gar that we mentioned learned out that a dion is allowed to beh from um as we learn out from the fact that when dispatched to to summon said and Rashi says if the had not toldu how did know that they said it. Yeah. So, so the garra says we have arrived from here that if somebody mistreats then the could tell otherwise how did know what said so rash has gasho what do you mean how did know what did moshabenu do for a living he sold used cars he's the hashem how did he know anything in the tyra how did he write down the story of other marish how did he write down the story of nyak how did he write down the story of abra God told him. So the same way wrote down the whole tora was able to write because Hashem told him that's the kash of the rash. The rash is kasha is how do we know? Um Rashi says Moshe must have known how the must have told him. Why did the tell him if it's lash? It must be that that you're allowed to tell the you're allowed to tell the best. What do you mean how did Mosh Rabenu know Rabenu knew to write it down the way he wrote down the whole Tyra but he didn't know in other areas too like he didn't know so let's say there he didn't understand let's say by theasha nisasha he had he had um or so the question Is is the garra is the question how did Moshe know or how did he write it in the Tyra? If the question is how did Mosha write it? He wrote it like he wrote everything in the Tyra. May the the point is what the Garra perhaps means is it says Moshe got angry but he got angry before he wrote down right. So the question is not how did Mosha write it. We can never ask how did Mosha write something. the would have communicated it to him. But how did Moshe know that he got angry before he wrote it down? Yeah. Okay. So, we we discussed four questions today, right? You ready? Four lisha questions. You could take it up to Yeah. What do they do all day ina they learn? Sometimes. Okay. Question number one. Question number one is why did say two times? Yeah. Loala. So, we said once. The brisk says once. Once we asked why are saying you didn't give us land well who cares you didn't give us land and if you would have given us land we would have to listen to you. So we brought from that the is only if you own land. So they're saying if you would have given us land we would have to listen to you as a as a mel because of we discussed the why don't people have to listen to we said that maybe is different than other and then we asked the question of that what's the ria that ach of bez is allowed to tell from the fact that mosha knew maybe mosha knew the way he knew everything else but I want to tell you one more thing Okay. So anyway, that's the lamb shashir for all the all the today and uh lime them.
