COMMANDER’S RESOURCES COMMANDER’S GUIDE • ENGLISH SICHA • YIDDISH SICHA • PARSHAFIER • WORKSHEET Commander’s Guide “A COMMANDER’S GUIDE IN TRAINING TODAY’S CHAYOLIM”

Waking up early and spending the day in school every day can sometimes feel difficult. Have you ever left school after a long day feeling like you didn’t accomplish a lot that day? Did this thought ever cross your mind: “When I’m older, I will actually make a difference in the world, because now I’m not really Intr ion oduct accomplishing anything while in school all day.”?

A chayol knows that this is his Yetzer Hora’s fantasies. This week’s parsha teaches us how to respond to the Yetzer Hora when he comes up with these ideas.

פרשת קרח פרק י״ח פסוק ב׳ “ וגם את אחיך מטה לוי שבט אביך הקרב אתך וילוו עליך וישרתוך ואתה ובניך אתך לפני אהל העדת" “Also, your brothers, Shevet Levi, bring close to you, and they will serve you and your children in the Mishkon”

In the parsha of Korach, the Torah tells us about the avoda of the Leviim and the Kohanim. The Leviim would help the Chumash Kohanim in the Mishkon and Bais Hamikdosh by ensuring that only those who were allowed in would enter, by singing shiros to Hashem and other various responsibilities. The Kohanim and Leviim were both doing a holy avoda. They did it on behalf of the rest of the Yidden who were unable to serve in the Bais Hamikdosh because they were busy with making a parnoso and dealing with the gashmiyus of the world.

2 Now, in Golus, we also have Kohanim and Leviim who are doing the holy and special service of Hashem while the rest of the Yidden take care of more material but necessary things. The chayolim in , the boys and girls who spend their days in learning Torah and davening with kavana are our Kohanim and Leviim.

Going to yeshiva is not just something that we have to do and be done with. It is a special privilege and achrayus of every chayol in Tzivos Hashem. You are our Kohanim and Leviim. Lesson You are entrusted with the holy service of serving Hashem in a special way every day.

This is why Hashem fashioned our world in a way that parents take care of all the needs of their children. Parents provide food, clothing, and a loving and warm environment for children to blossom in. Children shouldn’t be worried about taking care of themselves like adults must, because their focus must be on learning Torah. Children have something very important to accomplish and our parents help us, just as the Yidden gave gifts to the Kohanim and Leviim so they could serve Hashem in the Bais Hamikdosh.

The next time you feel tired or lazy in class or uninterested to get out of bed and go to school, remember that our years in school B’chein aren’t just practice for the “real world.” It is a special avoda to be focused in learning all day. Be enthusiastic and feel privileged about the stage that you’re in! Through your serving Hashem, we will merit to see the Kohanim and Leviim serving Hashem in the third Bais Hamikdosh. Go for it! You can make it happen!

3 English Sicha

Parshas Korach describes how Hashem chose shevet Levi to represent the Jewish people in the Bais Hamikdosh. The Leviyim brought karbanos on behalf of all the Yidden. By serving Hashem in the Bais Hamikdosh, they brought down Hashem’s blessings upon the entire nation. This is why Hashem appointed the Kohanim from the shevet of Levi to bentch the Jewish people.

Even though the Bais Hamikdosh is no longer standing in a physical sense, everything is still true in a spiritual sense. As the Rambam teaches, every Jew is able to serve Hashem as did the Leviyim in the Bais Hamikdosh. He must only choose to dedicate his life to serving Hashem. He must devote himself to learning Torah and doing mitzvos, not just for his own sake but on behalf of all the Jewish people. Then, when a Jew has chosen the path of shevet Levi, he will receive all he needs from Hashem. What is more, he will bring down many more brochos upon all the Jewish people.

Jewish girls and boys who go to yeshiva can be like the Leviyim and the Kohanim in the Bais Hamikdosh. All they must do is learn Hashem’s Torah, do His mitzvos and behave in a way that will be an example to the entire Jewish people. Then, Hashem will bless them with all they need. And because of them, Hashem will also bless their parents, their teachers, their leaders, and all the Jewish people.

Jewish children must realize that their time in yeshiva is the greatest opportunity a Jew can have. They must make use of this special time by learning Torah conscientiously, and behaving in the proper way. During these precious years, they are the Kohanim and the Leviyim. They bring down Hashem’s blessings for all of their own needs, and for the needs of their parents and all of Klal Yisrael.

קַהִתְ ׁשְ ר ּו ת I shared a sicha of the Rebbe Yitzy: Sruly, can you help me understand this mishna? ...Sruly? at my ֹתַּׁׁ שְרַּפ Shabbos table Rivky: Sruly, are you okay?

ORDERS FROM Sruly: What? OUR GENERAL Vol. 5, pg. 40 Rivky: You’ve seemed upset since we got home from school. You didn’t even notice Yitzy talking to you! What’s up?

STARRING Sruly: Oh, it’s nothing, just…I wish I were from Shevet Levi! The Weiss Family Chany: Shevet Levi? Why?

Sruly: Well, this week’s parsha discusses how Hashem chose them. The men of Shevet Levi were the ones who carried the Mishkon, brought korbanos, served in the Beis Hamikdosh… And through them, all of the Yidden received their brachos! Chany Rivky Imagine the zechus! Rivky: Now that you put it that way, I totally hear you! Yitzy, are any of the Parshafier guides Levi’im?

Yitzy: Let’s see… Here’s an Avrohom Cohen. Let’s go, we might see the Beis Hamikdosh! Sruly Yitzy blipblipblipblipshhhhh...... boink!

GUEST STARRING Chany: Wait. This is not the Beis Hamikdosh! This looks like… an awfully strange tea shop!

Unfortunately, being that we’re in golus, you are Avrohom Avrohom: correct. Welcome to TeaLand, Thailand’s only kosher tea shop! HaKohen Sruly: Avrohom, I really wish we were from Shevet Levi.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN Avrohom: You’re in luck, I’m a Kohen! But Sruly, the Rambam tells us that every single Yid serves Hashem like Shevet Levi! Read this at your Shabbos table, acting out the different characters with your family. Yitzy: Really? How? Only a Kohen can bring korbanos. And Then, discuss the question of the week and now that we’re in golus, even you—an actual Kohen—can’t apply the Parshafier’s lesson to your lives. serve Hashem. 7 2 Hachayol 333

333 Korach.indd 2 6/1/2018 10:19:33 AM Avrohom: What did Shevet Levi actually do? Avrohom: See, you kids are the real Shevet Levi. Adults have to spend their time working and Rivky: They dedicated their entire lives to serving Hashem: learning Torah, working in the Beis worrying about parnosa, but all you have to do is Hamikdosh, singing… spend your time learning Torah and doing mitzvos. That’s how you dedicate your life to Hashem— Chany: Oh, I get it! So, according to the how you behave like a Kohen! Rambam, when we dedicate our lives to Hashem, we can be like Shevet Levi? Yitzy: Hmm... So, by listening in class, Avrohom: Exactly! I try my best to behave like a davening with kavona, and behaving with Kohen here in Thailand. Right now I’m learning Derech Eretz and Ahavas Yisroel, I am doing and preparing a dvar Torah to share the avoda of Shevet Levi too? with my TeaLand customers! But you know, you kids are the lucky Avrohom: Most certainly! And ones. then Hashem showers you with brachos for all of your Rivky: Really? How so? needs, and for Bnei Yisroel! Avrohom: You girls and boys go to a Yeshiva, is that right? Rivky: Sruly, got that? We’re the real Shevet Levi! Sruly: Yep! I’m learning learn Chumash, Gemara, Chassidus... Avrohom: Yup, now how about making a brocha Chany: And my class just had a siyum on Perek on this freshly prepared iced tea before you get Daled! back to your avoda?

How can you be like a levi?
