Parshas Korach: Called To Serve

On Gimmel Tammuz, thirty two years after the Lubavitcher Rebbe's histalkus, we explore one of the Torah's most famous rebellions and one of its most important lessons.

Korach argued that if every Jew is holy, no one should stand above another. So where did he go wrong?

Drawing on the Rebbe's powerful insight, this episode reveals the difference between equality and sameness, why true leadership is rooted in service rather than status, and how every Jew has a unique mission that only they can fulfill.

The question is not whether we are important. The question is whether we are fulfilling the role G-d entrusted to us.
