This Shabbos is the third of Tammuz, which marks twenty-five years since the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe—Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. Traditionally, this is a day for reflection, re-commitment and, above all, positive action.

Our Parsha begins with Korach staging a rebellion against Moshe and his brother Aaron. Together with a few ringleaders, he gathers 250 men and accuses Moshe and Aaron of nepotism.

In response, Moshe proposed that the next day they all participate in a test, everyone would bring an incense offering in the Mishkan, and then G‑d would make his choice known.

Hashem was immensely angered with Korach and made the earth open up and swallow Korach and the rest of the rebels.

We find out why Korach rebelled against Moshe.

We learn how lethal an ego could be.
