Giver or Taker - Cantor Lisa Peicott

In this week’s Torah portion, a “man of repute,” by the name of Korach, and his 250 followers rebel against Moses, and his brother Aaron. In true biblical fashion, a sacrifice gauntlet is tossed, and each of the 250 rebels are asked to offer an incense burning before God, to see which leader God accepts. Spoiler alert, the ground opens up and swallows Korach, his two sidekicks and their families. If that wasn’t a clear enough message, a heavenly fire shoots up, and consumes all 250 of the followers. Korach and his rebellion are destroyed. So what horrific things did this rebel without a cause have to say?Each week, a member of the clergy offers their personal perspective on a topic of their choice, such as the week's Torah portion, a Jewish holiday, ritual, custom, or history.
