The Weekly Sicha of the Rebbe – Parshas Korach

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) and Aharon Hakohen (Aaron the High Priest) plead with Hashem not to destroy Korach’s entire congregation; rather, Hashem should just destroy Korach because he was the one who incited and convinced everyone to rebel against Moshe Rabbeinu.

The Torah says, “Hashem spoke to Moshe and Aharon, saying: ‘Separate yourselves from among this congregation and I will annihilate them in an instant’. They (Moshe and Aharon) fell upon their faces and they said, ‘Almighty, the G-d of the spirits of all flesh; if one man sins shall You be angry with the entire congregation?’”

Rashi comments on this verse and explains why Moshe and Aharon prefaced the words, “Almighty, the G-d of the spirits of all flesh”, before their actual argument of, “if one man sins shall you be angry with the entire congregation?”. Rashi explains that Moshe and Aharon were saying, “(Hashem You are the) Knower of thoughts. Your attributes are not like mortal attributes. A mortal king against whom some of his kingdom acted insolently does not know who the sinner is and therefore when he is angry he punishes them all. But You- to You all thoughts are revealed and you know who the sinner is. Therefore, “if one man will sin will You be angry with the entire congregation?”

A Funeral, Continuation, Teachings Live On

Barely thirteen years old, standing on the newly built balcony outside Lubavitch World Headquarters under the ominously dark skies emitting an avalanche of rain upon those of us below, I watched as tens of thousands of men, women and children gathered on the corner of Eastern Parkway and Kingston Avenue.

Gimmel Tammuz

by Rabbi Yossy Gordon

Sholom Aleichem. Last week a dear friend was visiting New York from Florida with his son. He called me to ask how he could get to the resting place of the Rebbe in Queens. Since I was not in town at the time, I happily arranged with my friend Zalman to escort him to and his son to “Ohel”, which is the name used to describe the Rebbe’s resting place, and then on to the airport for his flight home.

Zalman called me afterwards to share with me some of the conversation he enjoyed with my visiting friend. “He asked me why does Rabbi Yossy always speak about the Rebbe so much? Aren’t there so many other great scholars and leaders in Israel? I explained to him that the Rebbe was much more than a scholar and leader. A Rebbe is a comprehensive soul that includes within it every other soul and can relate to each and every Jew in a most personal manner.”

I was glad Zalman explained things so beautifully. Both of my friends are absolutely right. I do indeed focus on the Rebbe and indeed the reason is because of the Rebbe’s role in my life. Let me explain with a short story and the Rebbe’s explanation:
