A Short Vort - Korach 5784 (7.24) BS”D Almonds and Blossoms Quell a Rebellion In this week’s parsha, Parshas Korach, Moshe and Aharon face the rst insurgency of its kind: a direct rebellion against their leadership and an attempt to overthrow them. In the Near East, the almond is the rst tree to blossom, its white owers signaling the end of winter and the emergence of new life… “The almond owers that sprouted on the staff - ‫ וַּיֹצֵא פֶַרח‬- recalled the gold owers on the menorah, lit daily by Aharon in the Mishkan. Until now, the complaints of the nation have been directed against G-d, keviyachol (as if such a thing were possible): the people complain at Yam Suf (Shemos Chapter 14), complain about lack of water (Shemos Chapter 17), complain about the manna and lack of meat (Bamidbar Chapter 11), and complain about the Land of Israel (Bamidbar Chapter 13 and 14). Korach, a rst cousin to Moshe and Aharon (Korach’s father, Yitzhar, and Moshe and Aharon’s father, Amram, were brothers), contests their leadership, claiming (rightly so) that the entire nation is holy, and G-d is amongst of all Israel, and therefore, the nation has no need for leaders (wrongly so). While it is true that every single Jew is holy and has potential for tremendous greatness, as we were all charged at Har Sinai with being a “kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Shemos 19:6), it is also true that we do need leaders to guide us, advise us, and teach us. (See Bamidbar 16 for all the details and stages of the rebellion and the punishments of the insurgents.) When the nation complains that Moshe has put to death the nation of G-d - and they are still not convinced that Moshe and Aharon have been divinely appointed (Bamidbar 17:6) - G-d commands Moshe to do something different. While the tests/proofs of the (i) ketores and re pans, (ii) the ground opening up and swallowing the leaders, (iii) the re that consumed the two hundred and fty men (Bamidbar Chapter 16), and (iv) the plague which smote the people (17:11-14), were all ineffective in convincing the nation of the truth
