Korach : "The Battle of the Heavens" - What Was Korach Thinking? Yeshiva Kol Torah; Lakewood

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com ready it's on good recording okay thank you so much for having me mamesh panam kadashas balkan um i think it's appropriate to come here this week dasamavirum said loyal errors and here the shiva brought us so we were supposed to start at 6 but we came a little bit late now that covet is over everybody spends most of the day parked in their car on the garden state parkway and took a little bit longer to get here so um supper will not be later than nine o'clock tonight okay we'll try to do it quick rashiva said the latest 8 55 so we'll try to get you out a little bit early okay so uh we'd like to speak a little bit about kaira what was karak thinking first let's try to understand who did karak get on his side so the gemara darshan zapasuk like my good friend with nothing who he didn't want me to get him into the joshua that doesn't mean i don't listen to him i want to thank grimness and very much for spending seven and a half hours driving me here and also i want to thank elizabeth bark for getting me water he's he said i shouldn't get him into the dress show so then i remembered his name i knew okay so he got him he got at the end of say there you know you have to keep the guys up especially they can be for at least another two hours so okay basically enough of that right the kumara darshan show you yo dimla bear shanim so famous i understand why wanted to get famous people looks better for him right if you have if the karak gets schleppers on his side so then uh it's not going to look too good if the only people that support him are are not fashionable people so he got people and he got people who were created but the gemara says he got people who knew to be had to be abra what what do you get people knew how to be about the shanna for i think is a specific idea in a very specific mixoya in toronto what does he need people who know how to be ma abra the shana for i remember one time i was rushed to go to a balyashiv so standing outside of his door there were three guys one guy was holding a shoved villain one guy was holding corn flakes one guy had another specimen whatever it was the other rebel yoshi was a bucky and these three mexicans and all my satire but why of all elements of torah did karak specifically are people who knew how to be ma abrahad hashanah and then mushra been who says boyker biker in the morning vivanshum will determine who's the right one rashi says why boyker the same way there are two guvulos in the world they're two definitive borders in the world there's day and night and they will never become night and night will never become day so too you can't argue on the kahuna so think about the analogy mashallah was giving he's saying the same way you can't change day and tonight you can argue on the appointment of arunachaleian why of all things is mashable invoking day and night marsha beno could have said the same way there's something called gravity and when you drop something it falls down so too you can't argue on kahuna well what's day and night what does day and night have to do with it the same way nobody could say day is night and there are a million things in nature that you can't change why is much bringing up day and night here's one of the main reasons i want to give this share the gemara says in bavaria that rabbit on one of his adventures with an arab merchant there merchant says you want to hear the spot in the ground where kara has swallowed up so robert so the arab merchant takes him to a place in the midbar and he says take your spear and put a bowl of wool on it and stick it into the ground and they did they stuck it into the ground and it was singed that was the spot and the arab merchant said okay put your put your ear down listen and rav put his ear down and he heard they were saying are true and we are phonies says the gemara the arab merchant said colts lost every 30 days karaka has kicked up to the surface of the ground like meat in a choline pot you know the meat it's if the pot is boiling every couple minutes the meat is kicked up to the top of the pot so every 30 days karak has kicked up to the top of the pot and that's what the gemara says now the gemara doesn't say exactly when kairaj is kicked up just every 30 days the rashiban says maybe every rosh so if you would go today that today is the day to give this year every rosh you go to the sinai desert you find a specific location you put your ear down to the ground and you're going to hear karak saying um by the way i i happen to see today there's a say for ben la ashrie the sadiq ranana he asks if that means quest is doing chuba so if he's doing chuva then the banjo should yank him out of gehenna why is he still on the gehenna she says because the chad is moshe ms the ms but we're a bunch of phonies even now this karate that we're saying it's not real it's not genuine it's not it's not minha leif it's not we're about we were and we still are we are about okay bottom line is why on rosh what is it about rosh haidash that kara comes up every verse and he says here's the big question what in the world is this man thinking there are three million jews standing on harsinai right you know that there is no event in the history of the world that was authenticated by more eyewitnesses than the giving of the torah nothing ever happened in world history that was seen by more people than israel for giving the torah on harassing the the only thing that comes close is uh how long ago 12 years ago when obama was elected there were a million people at his inauguration since then nothing came close and even after that nothing has ever been seen by more witnesses than three million yiddin at harsina i see the ribanus i'm giving the torah now where was kairak that day karak took the day off was there now moshe went up to the mountain and hashem spoke to moisha per alpaca and the ramban says on the position the ramban says that when moishabin went up to her israel was elevated to the level of naveem so that they saw the ribanosham speak to maisha on a level of navua palpat okay so that means everyone was there all three million people were there including and karaksawa that hashem said moshe you're the only one i want you to go up so mushroom goes up thirsty night and then kairak sees the ribbon some speak to moshe and they knew for all eternity that mashabenu was the greatest person who ever lived karak was there he didn't play hockey that day so what is kara what does the croc think that moisture is doing he thinks masha abenu is making up on his own shalom that arun should be the kangado he thinks that mushroom is making up that elite sofa and should be the nasi kaira stood there on her sinai when the ribbon spoke to moshe and all of clyso were elevated to the status of the vm and they saw the ibanezham speak to maisha and nobody else yeah but maybe maisha appointed his brother you know in the seven days of the miluam maisha did the avodah for seven days and every day at the end of the day they were waiting for hashem shriner to come down on the mishkan nothing happened on day one nothing happened on day two nothing happened on day three nothing happened so the lotion of rashes you saw they were embarrassed they were ashamed until moshe turns to ara and moshe says aaron you give it a shot and aaron does [Applause] now where was kairak that day he was there he saw moisture abhinum himself tried to do that nothing happened he saw aaron he did the avodah and the shrino came down and kairak really i mean for real he's starting up with aaron he saw what aaron could do and then at the end of the shivasime luam parashastav so anybody know how big is the oil maid big okay very good not bad it's big how many people do you think could fit pesach lyon if you had to guess i mean how big is it 50 hours by a hundred hours how many people could fit there 5 000 people 10 000 people not even what does the rest of us say so then what do we have five thousand people five thousand people how many people fit pesach an opening day of the mishkan so the so take a spot that holds five thousand people and stuff three million people in there it's not possible it's not it's not chairs this is one of the few times where a small area held a lot of people oh so the basis hashem this is the raya that hashem told me to appoint iron because i got three million people in an area that houses five thousand people and where was kairak that day he was there and he watched my should take by uh three million people and stuffed them into an area of five thousand people and he was there at harsee night when hashem spoke to moisha and he sought ben avua benevola doesn't mean uh benevola means he reached a tremendously high majority he knew that there is nobody in the history of the world like mushroom you know one of the gimmel iqrim let's say somebody believes that maishabeno was a great person he was only equal to abraham avino what do you call such a person a kaifer right if somebody says mashuven was very great but he was only as great as ishayah he's a kaifer one of the youth gimmickrum is nobody ever prophecy like moshe and kyrah knew that ms amita because he became a navi and he saw the revenge from speak to moisha so what's the man thinking he's a smart person she says what was karak thinking it's a very interesting passage at the uh toward the end of the episode this will prove that hashem sent me it's the number 17 it wasn't in my heart listen to the words this will prove that hashem sent me to do these things killoy milibi it wasn't in my heart what are the words adding me leaving my shabbat should say this proves that hashem sent me what does it add me libby let's try to understand why was kara swallowed by the ground i mean what was when was uh that's not a typical way to go the gemara says there are a thousand kinds of misos and this is not even one of them there are many ways to go and the the ground turning into a mouth and swallowing somebody up is not a typical way to go why was cursed swallowed by the ground so the following approach is found in tooth farm in the barry joseph of robioso salant and in the safer sum derek of the siso breida it's amazing approach moisture abner says in uvamis and elsewhere the shabbos moshe did three things on his own and hashem was masculine to him separated from his wife so the gemara says how do we know hashem was mask him to myself i maisha separated from his wife because after mata and torah hashem told claudius let him tell the rest of kalisto to go back to their wives you stay with me so it means hashem was mask him to moisturize decision to separate from his wife as toisless ptosis is found in uvalmus and in shabbos says to says how do you know moshe came up with this plan on his own it's number 13 on the sheet if you want how do you know moishabano came up with this plan on his own and hashem was masking to him maybe hashem told him moshe you always have to be on standby i could come to you at any moment so you have to be punishment at isha how does the gemara know masha came up with the idea on his own and hashem was mask him maybe hashem told them to do it so taisu says if hashem would have told moshe to do it then miriam never would have spoke lash and her about moshe we know what was the los angeles said about moshe miriam said who does moshe think he is hashem comes to me i don't have to separate from my husband and aaron says hashem speaks to me i don't have to separate mino isha so they spoke malashana about moshe now if hashem would have told moisha to separate from his wife then miriam never would have spoke lash and hara she only spoke lashin hara because moshe came up with this idea on his own okay that's twice fractious okay so moshe came up with with idea on his own but hashem was masking so how could miriam speak lash and hara in other words moshe came up with this great plan he's going to be parish minnesota hashem said you did the right thing so if hashem gave moisha haskama how could miriam speak lash and harab told them to do it you're right hashem didn't tell much to do it originally but she came up with the plan on his own originally but hashem told him it's a good idea so once it's a good idea what's miriam speaking leshar about maisha by the way just as an aside rabbi khan and has akash on the covets it comes out that what mir what did miriam say about my shot miriam said who does moshe think he is we're also niveam so that means miriam equated maisha to sharon naveem so why is miriam being accused of lashin hara it's much worse than lashin hara it's happy karsus says no it only became an icker of a muno when hashem said to moshe you know who moshe is this is when it became one of the yugi that's but the bottom line is hashem had already given moisha has come up hashem gave my husband then why would moshe why would miriam speak rashford ready here's the day a thousand percent you did the right thing but you know why hashem gave moisia because the darach adam writes wanted to be punishment at isha sasham said that's what you want here's the ishwar here's the haskama no problem miriam's problem with maisha is why did you want that if you wouldn't have wanted it then hashem one of you give it given you hashem gave you ascama because you wanted it but if you would have been a honest person and a better person you wouldn't have wanted something which is wrong hashem only went along with your plan basically miriam accused maisha of abusing the kayak of being a sadiq in other words maisha beno is the greatest person i've ever lived the greatest sadiq ever lived whatever moshe wants hashem says no i'll give it to you no problem it doesn't mean just because hashem said you did it's okay it's a good thing to do that it's really a good thing to do sometimes hashem goes along with the plans and the desires of sadiq because they want it even though it's not the right thing just occurred to me you know the famous kumara brachaise the gemara says that ram gamlial when he was deposed as nasi so he had khaleesha's hadas he felt bad that he uh so he kept so many bakra out of the bay samadrish right so they showed him in a dream a white a clear glass with ashes inside in other words they were telling ram gum leo you're right for keeping out how medium weren't good on the inside and then the gemara says no shamayim didn't think leo was was right they just wanted to make him feel good because to go along with hashita which by the way is a tremendous suicide just because someone is being matsuya it doesn't mean they're doing the right thing just because hashem gives seattle the shemaya it doesn't mean that's ms hashem will give seattle to good people sometimes even when they do the wrong thing that's the sight of texas tyson says he started as miriam said i know hashem told you to be parchment isha but hashem told you because he wanted it and therefore you shouldn't have wanted it comes kaira and karak says maisha i know you're the greatest person who ever left and you're the greatest navi and you're the greatest and rabinoyan writes the same way mosh rabbin was the greatest navy who ever lived and he was the greatest anna who ever lived he likewise excelled in every other character trait but here's kara's taina to myself that hashem told you to appoint aaron because look i was there when you stuffed three million people into a little closet that holds 5000 people and i was there when aaron brought down the shrine and i was there on hasidah when hashem spoke to you i don't doubt for a moment that you made up that aaron should be the kind god hashem told you that aaron should be the kind god but you know why hashem told you that aaron should be going oh no because you want aaron to be the kind goddamn you shouldn't have wanted your brother to be the kind god though you should have wanted the best man for the job to be the kind goddamn so i'm accusing you carl says of abusing your power of tsadik that's the mahala of rabsom and the and the the area that based on this toy system shabbos and this toy sustainables karak's taina moshe was i know who you are i believe everything you do is because hashem told you but hashem only tells you because that's what you want you should have wanted the right thing you should have when you dive into my essay you shouldn't have done it please make arrangements you should have doubted hashem appoint the man who will bring the biggest killer hashem to the world and then i would have got the job because i'm greater than our so now that's a that's a a very profound taina that's a very complex taina that's a very sophisticated taina that was the time of kyrah so you know look how smart he is look at what a big pikachu is kayak says you don't think hashem goes along with what the tadika want clara gathers 250 men and mosha bana looks at them and says who are these men these are the these are not the misbehaves these are not the yardaya these are the people who know had been abra you know what kayak these type of have the gemara tells us the rosh hashanah that we have a drasha atem that if the rosh is tomorrow he makes a mistake we follow that rosh this is tomorrow and if i'm says yesterday we follow that and if a uh says is it a specific day this is the one area in torah that even intentionally want to make an error we're going to follow them you know the famous mishna in rosh hashanah the mishnah says that rabbi yeshua held kim kippur was a on a specific day and ram galil gamaliel disagreed he held yom kippur is the next day and montgomery rob yeshua to appear on the day that yeshua held was yom kippur he said i want to see you with your money belt i want to see you with uh your vahchef and rabbi yeshua didn't know what to do he went to rabbi akiva and rabbi kiva said you got gotta go you gotta go yeshua said what do you mean i'm being mahalo yom kippur he says even if ram gamil is amazed whenever the man says it's then he's so to speak twisting the hand of the ribonucleotion will go along with the decision of the israel so karak says to maisha i'm going to prove to you that the reason why aaron was selected to be the kind goddal is because you're twisting the hands of hashem you asked hashem to make aaron the kind goddamn therefore hashem is going along with it and moisture says where do we ever see such a thing so karaka is very smart he got 250 guys that what do they do for a living they twist hashem's hands the the adam come in and then whatever they say what they say bashoig bemezid bimutaim their job is they decide and hashem sits there and says you know i'll go along with it hashem gives thee sure karak didn't get people who knew what what mustafi are learning kadushin they didn't get the people knew massachusetts you know he got people who knew how to twist the hand of shamayim that whatever they say the evangelion goes along with it you're making a mistake the appointment of the kahuna is not like the appointment of kahuna is like day and night if the ah it's the day right now everyone put on the twill in you look outside it's pitch black so we say they have we don't listen to them it doesn't matter what they say the mathias is the mathias they have no kayak to change only the yoim of the khoidash so maisha abandon says no this is not a matter of ibrano ibrahim this is a matter of boy and mushroom says the following very compelling argument he says you think i made it up this is going to prove that hashem sent me and then quran had even more sophisticated taina i don't think you davened and you asked hashem to make aaron the kind goddamn here's what i think you did you wanted aron to be the kind god allah and ruth sony ray of yasser does the will of those who fear him so you so to speak very cleverly manipulated hashem to allow aaron to be appointed because you wouldn't say in smackdown hashem make aaron the kind god oh you just burnish them whoever you want uh you you know how much and i'll leave it like that marsha abano left it so mushroom says milibi it was not in my heart i didn't even think it in the heart much of it says in my heart of heart all there was was we bunch them i would like you to appoint the man who's best for the job ah so now you're right you're now so says the gemara that the arab took moisture took the rabbit to the desert and the arab said you want to know where karach is under the ground now one more thing the gomar nadaram says that in the rebellion of kairak shemesh ahmad shemesh miserval the sun and the moon stopped remember that kumar in the dharm they learn the dharma over here you learn the dharm here you did already three years ago six years ago some of the stomach you remember one time when i was uh when i was in kylo we learned mustafa shabbas so they sent us to speak and learning with small burma so he asked us shailah like something we learned in the beginning of the year so so we said we didn't remember he said oh you don't remember so you learned it 70 years ago he says not shy if not to remember something unless you learned it 70 years ago anyway so what does it have to do with anything oh the gemara nadar we learned it six years ago the gemara says the sun and the moon said that's it stop i'm i'm i retire the sun and the moon said if you're going to allow kyrak to rebel against masjibenu we retire i am no longer going to shine the sun said i'm going out of business i'm retiring i'm moving to florida the moon said i'm moving to uh tom's river and that's it we're going out of we're going out of business we're not going to so the barry joseph asks this is not like the first time there were rebellions in claudius why all of a sudden the sun and the moon are saying they're going to retire after the raglan why didn't the sun and the moon say that's it so they don't want that's it we retire we're going out of business uh you know the gemara says when he came late to the base matters people where was he why maybe he was having a long breakfast if he came early they said why did he leave so early maybe he can't get there why didn't the sun and the moon say they're so they're being so brazen that's it we're going out of business says the barrios the sun and the moon took a particular insult when it came to this rebellion of karyak against moshobinu because they were being marshaled to try to support kaira kirk was saying oh i'll prove to you moisrabeno is using his power of tsadik because the ibrahir and the ibrahidesh are dependent on the so kairak was marshaling the sun and the moon to support his argument so sunderland says karach is using me that's it and we're going out of business so therefore the gemara says that every 30 days kyrah surfaces and he says what day of the month does karach surface says the barrio is safe because he has to be moida ala ms on the day that he tried to use to support his position that israel have the ability have the ability to so to speak twist the arm of hashem which they do but when it came to the appointment of aaron akain it was not mushy asking hashem it was not moisha willing hashem it was the wave tahar of mushra abby know if we would have gone and seen the heart of maisha benu in the heart of mashabenu and the deep subconscious of maishrabenu all we would have seen is tara salev he wasn't rooting for arrow he wasn't he wasn't hoping for aaron he was hoping the ibansham should appoint whoever he punished on deems fit now just think for a moment the whole miracle of the earth swallowing kaira was to show what that hashem gave the torah to claudius nobody questioned that was to show that moshe taught the torah accurately nobody questioned that the whole miracle of kairak was to show the complete paharas haleigh of adainu think about the lengths that the ibanezham to uphold in the anae cloud you saw for all generations the complete tara saliva no it's really remarkable the the importance of of the ikar of aramuna and moishrabenu as as somebody who has such absolute torah that he did not will in any way his own brother to become the koeying god so why was he swallowed by the ground the question of kairak was a question of the the authenticity of the tasha about path when hashem offered the tardis we said nasa vanish yeah on the other hand the gemara says in shabbos hashem said if you're not makable i'm going to drop the mountain on your head so what was it so the medium huma says we said hashem was going to bury claudius alive so you see it says the hafla the punishment of not being macabre the torah is being buried alive anyone who is lazy umar says in shabbos cafe is worthy to be buried alive because if you're not mosque properly then you don't appreciate the tarsh about then it's by the way the story goes the same sofa used to go benazmanim to the mineral baths in pachani and carlsbad they're revvas today they still go to those mineral baths and one time the some surfer was in the mineral bath and the mineral bath is very hot and the the by the way the soifer was able to tolerate heat more than anyone who ever lived they say he was able to drink a hot coffee that's like the temperatures are loyal it was very hot in the bath and all of a sudden the iron doors started to close now if you get stuck in the mineral bath castle you're dead so for immediately he's thinking to himself what could he have done to deserve being uh kaivroy bakayov so he remember he says it must be a sadiq died and he didn't give a proper heisman he was macabre himself as soon as he gets out he's going to find out who he is and he's going to be massed with him sure enough he found out though that the tear of rav david daichi of david is mentioned in chancellor chubas nay the bihuda he writes ish kosher kibbarzel rav david so ran out of the mineral bath and he was maaspid rabdavidis so the if there's a question if somebody challenges the oral law the tarshiva the punishment is kaivroy bakaya and therefore that's what happened to challenge the that means part of tarshiba is not just the content part of tarshivalpe are the to have a muna in the israel of the generations that their uh hearts and their personalities were tahirim were kadaishin and they gave us the over the torah in the most pure way without any desire for their own covet but they gave over the torah just to be mekadesh and that's the lemud and you're learning salafa right now what's introducing so there you go and i don't even know that unbelievable okay so thank you everybody for uh staying over time and we could you could take a short break and then we'll continue thank you very much for having me you should have tremendously have to shrink the new mokko him does hashem adiran you've just experienced another torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
