from Beth El of Manhattan, Two-Testament Synagogue · host Rabbi Bruce L. Cohen
In this week's Torah portion, we see the standard for genuine spirituality set - Aaron's almond branch budded: the only one to do so among all the tribes; and this singular token, God directs to be put "on watch" in the Tabernacle, to quench the complaints of the "B'nai Mey-ri" (sons of rebellion). We are directed to the immense importance of genuine truth-seeking vs. self-exaltation by outwardly "noble" appearing conduct, as the rebel Korah displayed it. The difference is profoundly worthy of study; and so, study it, we do. Enjoy!
