Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת קרח‎.Discussed:

• The כח of Korach to ensnare is similar to that of the Meraglim. This is the power of "spin", the ability to mislead people and twist a story to one's personal agenda and away from the Torah
• This כח of misleading people by spin can be found throughout today's society, in the news media and entertainment industry, and can be traced throughout history, all the way back to the נחש הקדמוני and the sin of the Etz Hadas.
• The Yalkut writes how Korach created a work of fiction to showcase that the laws of the Torah are unfair and only benefit Moshe and Aharon, and with this fictional story was able to ensnare people to his cause.

Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת קרח‎.Discussed:

• The Meshach Chachma’s explanation of why Moshe was willing to put everything on the line to prove he was right, and why Korach had to be killed in such a supernatural way.
• Why do the Ketores and the staff of Ahron have special powers to save innocent people?

Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת קרח‎. Discussed:

• Understanding Korach's motivation to argue against Moshe Rabeinu and different aspects of his arguments. Why did Korach think he would be successful in his fight with Moshe and why did he err in interpreting his Ruach Hakodesh?
• A perspective on the Bible Codes based on the lessons from Parshas Korach.
• The Vilna Gaon explains how the Urim V'tumim worked. He also explained the dialogue between Chana and Eli Hakohen, based on a cryptic Rashi.

Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת קרח‎. Discussed: 

• The difference between one who's faith is miracle-based when God openly reveals himself, and one who works on his faith, struggling to cultivate belief and reliance on Hashem. 
• R' Moshe explains why Korach used a Tallis full of Techeiles (blue thread) to challenge Moshe. What is the significance of the Mateh Ahron (the Staff of Ahron) that it bloomed with its flower, bud, and almond? And why did the almond branch remain for eternity fruit and blossom together?

Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת שלח.Discussed:

• Why do we refer to the spies as "מרגלים", this week's Parsha doesn't use that terminology even once!
• The Steipler writes that the spies mission was merely to report what they saw, but they became haughty and sinned by inputting their own opinions and agendas.
• The Kometz Hamincha writes that the Mitzvah of Tzisis is to teach us to learn from the mistake of the Meraglim, who instead of acting merely as spies, acted like leaders deciding and judging whether they could or could not conquer Eretz Yisrael. He compares this to Man who has an army of senses and emotions that "report" from the world, but ultimately the person must decide his actions based on his intellect and Torah.

Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת בהעלותך.

Discussed:

• Why are zealous Jews called Charedim (those that tremble) and how this characteristic was exhibited in the episode of Pesach Sheni. This trait differs from the attitude of many modern communities.
• R' Moshe learns important lessons from the Parsha of Pesach Sheni, where ordinary Yidden achieved supernatural success because they served Hashem with love and persevered against all odds to do a Mitzvah.
• Chazal write that the beginning of the downward spiral at the end of the Parsha started with Klal Yisrael's sinful attitude as they "ran away" from Har Sinai and Ruchniyos. Klal Yisrael then continued to fall when they pursued physical pleasures, leading to the episode of the מן at קברות התאוה.
