Shabbat Afternoon D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock 6:40pm Shiur on (in Hebrew) Beit Midrash The verse in Mishlei states: חַכְמֹות נָשִׁים בָנְתָה בֵיתָּה וְאִׁוֶּלֶּת בְיָדֶּיהָתֶּהֶּרְ סֶּּנו: 6:55pm Daf Yomi Library The wisest of women-each one built her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her hands. The ( 110) explains that this verse alludes to two women who play critical roles behind the scenes in Parshat Korach. 7:10pm Rabbi Weinstock’s class: The Dangers of Main Sanctuary “The wisest of women” refers to the wife of Ohn ben Pelet. At the beginning of the Parsha Korach-ism (16:1) we read how Ohn is one of the named members in the band of Korach’s rebels. However when the story ends with punishment for all of those who rebelled against Moshe, Ohn’s name 7:55pm Teen Minchah Room 5 is noticeably absent. The Talmud in Sanhedrin explains that Ohn is not mentioned at the end of the story because he was saved due to his wife’s intervention. Ohn’s wife convinced her 7:55pm Minchah Main Sanctuary husband that he had nothing to gain from getting involved in the rebellion, and everything to lose. Ohn agreed with his wife but felt trapped because he had sworn allegiance to Korach. So After Minchah Parsha Shiur with Rabbi Yossi Jankovits Beit Midrash Ohn’s wife did what she had to in order to save her husband: she got him drunk and put him to bed. Then she blocked the doorway so that no-one could bring him to the rebellion. 8:54pm Maariv Main Sanctuary “A foolish one tears it down with her hands”: the Talmud explains that this refers to Korach’s wife. According to this tradition, she was the instigator of the entire rebellion. She 8:54pm Teen Maariv Room 5 goaded her husband into rebelling by suggesting that Moshe had overstepped his bounds, and he was taking honor and privileges that rightfully belonged to Korach. Immediately Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 5 min. class Library The Talmud is teaching us that, oftentimes, the most influential person in the story/ in the after Maariv family is the one who may be behind the scenes, yet is directing all of the events. And like the story behind the scenes in our Parsha, oftentimes this is a role taken by women. As Nia Vardalos said in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding “The man may be the head of the household. But the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.” In the past few decades, the role of wife has changed dramatically, more so than the role of husband. More married women are working outside of the home than ever before. This fact is Main Sanctuary will be locked while the Torah is being read, during Mussaf just one of many that make a woman’s role in today’s world complicated and challenging. Other factors that complicate everyone’s family life (for both women and men) include: Kedusha, and while Rabbi is speaking st technology, raising children in the 21 century, and seeking a balance between work and life, as Contact Gerald Mayerhoff [email protected] or David Lasko well as a healthy synergy between one’s mind, body and soul.

D’var Torah : Rav James Parsha Comic In mid-1941 the Nazis invaded Greece. By the start of 1942 they began sending the Greek Jews to extermination in Auschwitz. A boat was sent to travel between the islands to gather all the Jews in order to be sent onward to Poland. The boat travelled to Rhodes, Corfu, Kos and then finally stopped at the remote island of Leros. The Jews on the boat were surprised, as they didn’t know that there was a Jewish community in Leros. Two Nazis disembarked and disappeared onto the island. The boat was docked for many hours, and the Jews on the boat became nervous what was awaiting them there. Finally, the long wait came to an end when the two Nazis returned with one single Jew held between them. The commandant checked off the Jew’s name on the list and the boat continued to travel towards Athens. The entire Nazi killing machine was paused for several hours for just one Jew from the remote island of Leros.

We must ask what the value of one person is. The Talmud in Sanhedrin teaches, “One who sustains one soul is as if he has sustained the entire world.”

Korach incites a horrendous rebellion against Moshe and Aharon’s leadership. Korach rallied two hundred and fifty people behind him, ultimately on a suicide mission, to challenge the legitimacy of the two leaders of the nation. How did Korach persuade the people to follow RAV JAMES & ANN WILLIAMS FAREWELL KIDDUSH him? Did they not see all Moshe had done for them in the past? What did Korach say to turn them against the men who redeemed them from bondage in Egypt and gave them the Torah? THANK YOU TO THE GENEROUS SPONSORS

The Chassidic Master, Rabbi Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin, suggests that Korach was driven Gold Sponsors Silver Sponsors by a truthful and powerful vision which he was ultimately willing to give his life for. His Yosef & Leah Amar Michael & Tsilila Goldberg vision was contagious and empowered the nation to follow him, to the point that they were Avi & Judy Baitner Elliot & Elysha Shainberg ready to sacrifice themselves on behalf of the vision as well. What was this vision? What Tsachi & Jessica Baitner Keith & Jessica Wasserstrom message was Korach fighting for? The slogan for Korach’s rebellion was a singular, simple Dror & Avivit Ben-Aharon yet powerful message: “All the congregation are holy, every one of them, and Hashem is David & Chava Berkower among them!” Bronze Sponsors Bnei Akiva of Hollywood Jonathan & Emma Hirsch Korach held high the banner that every single Jew is infinitely holy, each is carefully chosen Brauser Maimonides Academy Doron & DV Kahn by Hashem, and has a unique aspect of G-dliness to reveal in the world. Korach professed Andrew & Rachel Bronfeld Dov & Racheli Lasry the message that a specific, material value cannot be placed on a Jew. Avraham was Herb & Edie Fishler Joshua & Andrea Leibowitz promised that his offspring would be like the sand of the sea and stars of the sky– Rabbi Adam & Sara Frieberg uncountable, unlimited and infinitely G-dly. Korach could not accept the notion of a Daniel & Nini Ross hierarchy because, objectively, each and every single Jew is of equal importance, and no Avidan & Melissa Frommer Marc & Dany Shandler price could possibly be paid which amounts to his or her true value. For Korach, this Mordechai & Ester Korik Ilya & Hanna Shekhter message was of such imperative centrality, it was worth giving one’s life towards it. Joel & Ronit Kornbluth Shimmy & Elana Lazar Rabbi Tzaddok concludes: “Thus, even though they were considered sinners and deserving of Noah & Rachelle Lewinger death, still this was indicative of a lofty level.” Alex & Aliza Markovich

The great “Seer” of Lublin, who was a Levi, would call Korach his “holy uncle.” Ultimately, Sam & Heather Sered the pans used for Korach’s sacrifices in his litmus test against Moshe were pasted to the altar. Daniel Stahl Thus, every time a person would bring a , every time someone would seek to become Benjamin & Clara Wainberg closer to Hashem, they would be reminded that the ultimate closeness is by virtue of Rabbi Yosef & Rebecca Weinstock the divine value of the Jewish soul.

Korach taught all of Am Yisrael that one cannot pin a value to the Jewish soul. He imprinted the message upon us for all time that the most worthy sacrifice is one performed on behalf of another Jew.
