we're talking about these divine
communications and that one that
happened
to me and and i wanted to discuss with
you the other great events that happened
also at character hospital
but this time it was not in the
emergency room but out in the parking
lots
and the connection to the torah portion
this week the torah portion of korach
was so obvious that anyone who had the
eyes to see it
anyone who sees the world even sort of
through the prism of the torah portion
to what's happening
they saw it immediately so out of
nowhere this past monday
this is what happened let's play the
video
ground opened up and swallowed
a large chunk of the parking lot along
with the cars that were above it
there was no sign that such a thing
would happen nothing specific caused
this
the earth just opened up its mouth and
swallowed the cars
hashem thank god thankfully no one was
hurt
now of course the connection to the
torah portion couldn't have been more
obvious
or direct when korach and his fellow
rebels joined together to challenge
moshe and our own
for what they perceived as positions of
power and leadership
and prestige the earth opened up
and swallowed them alive here it is in
the text numbers chapter 16.
but if hashem will create a phenomenon
and the earth opens its mouth
and swallows all that's theirs and they
will descend alive into a pit this is
what moshe
who moses the thing then you shall know
that these men have provoked hashem
when he finished speaking all these
words immediately the ground that was
under them split open the earth opened
its mouth and swallowed them in their
households and
all the people who were with korach and
and their entire wealth
they in all that was theirs descended
live into the pit
the earth covered them over and they
were lost from among the congregation
okay so that is the dramatic
unforgettable scene and the great sage
ibn ezra
he asks well these things do happen
there are earthquakes
and when they happen sometimes people
fall inside as it's new
well the ramban now commodities answers
the question
he says i'm sorry i wrote maimonides but
this is actually
nothing for the earth to open its mouth
and swallow that is new this has never
happened before
because when the earth opens up as it
happens many times in an earthquake
the earth remains open sometimes it will
become filled with water and become a
pond
but that the earth should open and
immediately close
like someone who opens his mouth to eat
that was made new on that day
and it's like a new creation
so why asks rav biederman why is it
necessary that the quran and his
followers die in this special way
it's because hashem wanted the story to
be
remembered if they died naturally people
would forget
there's a lot of stories like that but
there was something important about this
that people needed
to remember people needed to remember
says raverman
the terrible sin of korach and his men
who sowed
discord and discontent this disingenuous
this insincere makloche arguments
among the jewish people
this highlight was taken from the land
of israel fellowship
every week hundreds of families from
literally around the world
come together on our live zoom sessions
to strengthen each other
to inspire each other and to learn torah
