Why do innocent babies suffer due to the conflicts of their parents? Join us as we unearth the tragic lessons from Korach's rebellion and the chilling consequences of inflexibility and dissension. This episode explores the severe repercussions when individuals refuse to heed wise counsel and instead choose a path of rigidity and conflict. Closely examining Rashi's commentary and the Maharal's profound insights, we uncover why the sin of machlokes (dissension) is so catastrophic, even though it isn't one of the cardinal sins like idolatry or murder.

Discover the heartbreaking reality of how unnecessary conflict can lead to the loss of innocent lives, as demonstrated in the story of Korach. We'll unpack the powerful notion that living a life of unyielding strictness can tragically extend its harsh consequences to children, who are too young to be held accountable. Reflecting on these ancient texts stresses the importance of flexibility, empathy, and understanding. Save the babies—embrace a life free of unnecessary conflict and discover how to avoid the tragic outcomes that rigidity can bring.
