Korach challenged Moshe Rabbeinu, “the entire congregation is holy, why do you take it upon yourselves to rule over the congregation of Hashem?” There, without asking the Ribono shel Olam, without seeking guidance from Above, Moshe Rabbeinu proclaimed, “If like all other men these men die, G-d has not sent me…” He proclaimed on his own “I am going to make a miracle. “Since you did not believe in Me to sanctify my Name before the Children of Israel.” Just like by Korach, when your honor was on the line, you took nature into your own hands and made an open miracle, now that we are suffering and dying of thirst, you hold back your power… This, says the Sefer HaIkrim, was the complaint and was a desecration of G- d’s Name, for which Moshe was punished. 6 We Should Appreciate People When We Have Them Parshas Chukas Rabbi Yissocher Frand The Multiplier Effect of One Pure Person Sprinkling On Many Impure Ones There is an interesting comment in Talmud Yerushalmi [the Jerusalem Talmud] on Tractate Demai: Rav Yehoshua ben Kablah stated: All my life I interpreted the pasuk [verse] ‘The pure person (tahor) should sprinkle on the impure person (tameh)’ [Bamidbar 19:19] to mean that the pure person can only sprinkle the purifying ashes of the Parah Adumah [Red Heifer] onto one person at a time, until I learned in the treasure house of Yavneh that in fact one pure person can purify many impure people. He requested — among other things — “Yavneh and its Sages.” Although Yerushalayim [Jerusalem] was ultimately destroyed, the remnant that was preserved in the Yeshiva in Yavneh allowed Judaism and Torah as we know it today to survive and even flourish during the long years of exile. If we look around today and see Yeshivas and Kollelim and Beis Yaakovs and communities that are renowned and laden with glory, this is an example of what Rabbi Yehoshua ben Kablah meant when he said “until I learned from the treasure house of Yavneh that a single tahor can purify many temeim.” This is what happened in America. The first difference is that the Shiras HaYam begins “Then Moshe and the children of Israel sang this song.” [Shemos 15:1] The Shiras HaBe’er begins “Then the children of Israel sang this song” [B
