It is hard to ignore that Parashat Korach, with its account of Korach and his supporters’ opposition to the leadership under Moshe Rabbeinu, comes right after Parashat Shelach, which describes the people broadly accepting the spies’ thesis that Bnei Yisrael were incapable of conquering Eretz Yisrael from its powerful residents. It therefore is likely that after the spies were divinely killed and the whole nation was punished that they would have to stay in the desert for a long time, there remained a nucleus of rabble-rousers, supporters of Korach, who opposed going to Eretz Yisrael, for which Moshe was preparing them.

Orla is forbidden in benefit (Orla 3:1; Pesachim 24b), and this is likely a full-fledged Torah-level prohibition in Eretz Yisrael even in our times, when many land-based prohibitions are Rabbinic (implication of Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah 294:9; Mishneh Lamelech, Maachalot Assurot 10:11 argues). Although orla applies only to edible fruit (Vayikra 19:23), the soap’s being unfit for a dog’s consumption (which is important regarding chametz) does not help regarding non-eating benefit, if the fruit became forbidden as orla when it grew (Yalkut Yosef ibid. According to the simple reading of the Shulchan Aruch (YD 110:3), if a Jew took or had the food taken, without taking note of its halachic status, from the origin to the place of the person asking the question, we treat the food as kavu’a and thereby as a safek whether it is kosher. Therefore, I am hereby coming to arouse your generous spirit, that you shall grasp all means at your disposal and put an end to this terrible disgrace by setting aside a place for Hashem in some respectable house to be used for prayer every day and especially Shabbat and the holidays.
