Dispute For the Sake of Heaven

We explore the famous midrashic description of the machlokes between Korach and Moshe Rabeinu comparing (in Mishan Avot) with that of Hillel and Shammai.Along the way the Gra’s comment on that mishnah references the Wars of the Lord poem in Num 21:14 which leads us down a different path. We then return to chassidic dimensions of machlokes as an inner spiritual journey that somehow mediates between mankind and the Divine and how that applies to our own inner battles.
