This Sunday is the third of Tammuz, which marks twenty-six 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 and power hoarding. They took specific issues with Moshe’s appointment of his brother Aaron as the Kohen Gadol, the high priest.
Furthermore, they argued that since the Jewish nation was all holy, there is no need for any person to be higher than the other. Therefore Moshe Rabbeinu didn’t have to hold the position of leader of the Jewish people.
We find out why Moshe delayed till the following morning?
We learn about the harm of a moment of rage.
