The Weekly Sedra – Parshas Korach

The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the Torah tells us about how Korach incited the people against Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) and his brother Aharon the Kohen Gadol (High priest). This comes after last week’s story of the Meraglim (spies) who had their own agenda and reported to the Jewish assembly that the Land of Canaan was not for them.

The basic thrust of Korach’s argument was that if every single Jew is a part of one “Holy Nation” (as Hashem calls us) why is there only one Kohen Gadol? Korach said “Why do you exalt yourselves over the congregation of Hashem?” (see Chapter 16, Verse 3).
