Don't Get Swallowed Up By the Earth

Parashat Korach The man Korach, for whom this week’s Torah portion is named, led a rebellion against the authority of Moses and Aaron…as camouflage for his true intent, which was nothing less than a mutiny against G-d Himself…a denial of His existence. His power-hungry, ego-driven rebellion couldn’t conceal his real motivation, though…and ultimately, the earth concealed him, as he and his cohorts were swallowed up by ‘the mouth of the earth.’ What does this really mean, and how to we understand this elusive account and the many fascinating, enigmatic traditions and teachings about Korach and his end? This week’s episode of the Jerusalem Lights Podcast features Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman exploring the amazing account of Korach and its implications, for Jew and Gentile alike, for our modern world.   ___  Rabbi Chaim Richman  Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone    Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:     Paypal: [email protected]   or:  https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...   In the USA:  Jerusalem Lights Inc.  Post Office Box 16886 Lubbock Texas 79490.     In Israel: Tel. 972 54 7000395  Mail: PO Box 23808, Jerusalem Israel     Subscribe to our newsletter at https://www.rabbirichman.com   Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUpV...     Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RabbiChaimRi...
