This week’s portion, Korach, relates the tragic story of the mutiny staged by a man named Korach (Numbers chapter 16), who organized a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, chosen by the Almighty to serve respectively as the Prophet and as the High Priest of Israel. https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/item/934/essay-korach-korach-and-john-lennon 2/9 7/1/24, 5:28 PM Korach and John Lennon Why does a Jew need Moses to teach him the word of G-d and Aaron to perform the service in the Holy Temple in his stead, when he (or she) himself possesses a soul that is a spark of the Divine flame?
