The story of Korach is the prime example in the Torah of machlokes. Why is Machlokes so severe, that even the babies of Dasan and Aviram were killed, that all their money was destroyed? How we differentiate between appropriate and inappropriate machlokes?

Wishing you a wonderful Shabbos.

The story of the Mekoshesh is placed next to the parsha of Tzitzis to teach that Shabbos is as valuable as all the Mitzvos. Chazal tell us that the Mekoshesh had noble intentions, but he was still stoned to death for being Mechallel Shabbos. Some thoughts on the value of Shabbos and how seriously we must view it.

Have a good Shabbos

The Parsha has the story of Pesach Sheini, where those who were tamei mes on Pesach complained that they missed the chance to bring the Korban, and Moshe asked Hashem and was told they could make it up on 14 Iyaar. Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz asked why Hashem made them ask first, why not just teach it to Moshe initially? Some ideas from the Ramban and the Ramchal about Tefilah and why we need to ask in order to receive.

Hi,

The Torah puts the parshiyos of Nazir and Sotah next to each other to teach that one who sees the Sotah process should take on Nezirus from wine. Why does seeing the Sotah make one have more of a need than anyone else to become a Nazir? Some ideas in both the influences and inspirations we can take from our surroundings.

The Torah introduces the sons of Aharon as the offspring of Aharon and Moshe. Why would they be listed as offspring of Moshe? Why are talmidei yeshiva referred to as Bnei HaYeshiva?

The Issur of Onaas Mamon, to overcharge or underpay someone is sandwiched in the middle of the parsha that is discussing the halachos of Shemitah and property going back to its original owners at Yovel. Is there a relationship between the Bitachon keeping Shemitah dictates, and one being careful not to rip people off? Includes a perspective on Hishtadlus that Rav Elchonon Wasserman shared with Rav Moshe Shternbach's mother when she was an Almanah working hard to support her family.

The Torah says we start counting Sefirah from the day after Shabbos. Chazal said it means the day after Yom Tov, the Tzedokim said it means the Sunday after Pesach. Why did the Torah write it that way, and why did the Tzedokim hire false witnesses and the like to pick this specific battle?

Have a good Shabbos 

The Chassidim say that learning the Ohr Hachaim is a segula for many things, and that all the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov can be found within the Ohr HaChaim. The Skver Rebbe encourages his chassidim to learn and review this Ohr HaChaim in 18:3-4 about the importance of guarding ourselves in the area of morality and intimacy.

May Hashem help us protect ourselves and come to kedusha.

Have a wonderful Shabbos 

The Parsha speaks about Tzaraas, which is often caused by Lashon Hara, which often has it's roots in Gaavah. Some insights into arrogance, ayin tovah, and the power of words from Rav Pam Zt"l.

In the days before Pesach, we need to focus on thanking Hashem for the miracles of Yetzias Mitzrayim, and for the bracha in our lives. Why does the Korban Todah have less time to eat it than other Korban Shelamim, especially if it has forty loaves of bread to go with it?

Have a good Shabbos and a Chag Kasher V'Sameach
