Welcome to this week’s Torah portion,
which is called Korach (Korah).
Please read along with us, and discover timeless Torah
truths in this portion of Scripture to be read in synagogues
this Shabbat. We know you will be blessed !
In last week’s Parasha (Torah portion), Shelach Lecha, the
seeds of rebellion were sown as the Israelites threatened
to replace Moses as their leader. So great was their fear of
the giants in the Promised Land, and so great was their
unbelief that they would be able to overcome those giants, that
they wanted to forsake the promises of God and return to Egypt.
In this week’s Torah study, the rebellion continues with the mutiny
against Moses’ leadership by a man named Korach (קֹרַח),
which means baldness, ice, hail, or frost.

Weekly Torah Portion: Korach
Brilliant, wealthy, influential, and tasked with transporting the Ark of the Covenant, Korach had it all. But it wasn't enough. He wanted more. Korach wanted to usurp Moshe's leadership and he wanted to commandeer Aharon's role as Kohen Gadol. Like all who reach too far, Korach was ultimately buried by his own perfidy, avarice, and unbridled ambition.

Why is America in a war on the side of Islam?
by Cindy Simpson. AMERICAN THINKER
War is all about taking sides: it involves both fighting against an enemy and defending the target of that enemy. But when political correctness prevents an accurate identification of either side, the line that divides them is blurred, and “winning” becomes an impossibility. Secretary of State John Kerry was reluctant to even call the present conflict with ISIS a war. Our enemy is one that President Obama has not been willing to describe succinctly. Neither, essentially, has Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, who recently admitted his own disinterest in the issue of accurate descriptions in his department’s strategy documents. [...]

Grand strategy for Israel
by David M Weinberg, ISRAEL HAYOM
I have just returned from 10 days in Washington, where I encountered administration officials, think tank analysts and Jewish community lobbyists who are profoundly misreading Israel and misunderstanding the changed Middle East. Most of them think that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is without a grand plan and is just playing petty politics to survive. I tried to explain to them how wrong they were and to articulate a coherent Israeli strategic worldview. [...]

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Korach - Genesis of Discord and Strife !!!
Shabbat Shalom
Welcome to this week’s Torah portion,
which is called Korach (Korah).
which is called Korach (Korah).
This is the portion of Scripture that will be read in
synagogues around the world this Saturday (Shabbat) morning.
We are certain you will be blessed as you follow along in our
study of this week’s portion!
Parasha Korach
(Korah)
Numbers 16:1–18:32; 1 Samuel 11:14–12:22; Acts
5:1–11
"Korach son of Izhar, the
son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and certain Reubenites —
Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth —
became insolent and rose up against Moses.”
(Numbers 16:1–2)
(Numbers 16:1–2)
In last week’s Parasha (Torah portion), Shelach
Lecha, the seeds of rebellion were sown as the Israelites
threatened to replace Moses as their leader. So
great was their fear of the giants in the Promised Land, and
so great was their unbelief that they would be able to
overcome those giants, that they wanted to forsake the
promises of God and return to Egypt.
In this week’s Torah
study, the rebellion continues with the mutiny against
Moses’ leadership by a man named Korach (קֹרַח),
which means baldness, ice, hail,
or frost.
A Jewish 13-year-old male reads from a Torah scroll protected by an
elaborately decorated Torah tik.
The Abomination of
Strife and Division
God loves peace and the Ruach
HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)
dwells in peace (shalom).
dwells in peace (shalom).
God hates strife, discord, and division between
brothers, calling the one who sows them an abomination:
“These six things the Lord
hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: … one who sows
discord among brethren.”
(Proverbs 6:16, 19)
(Proverbs 6:16, 19)
To highlight this sin, the Scripture portion this week is
also called the Parasha of Machloket
(Strife), since Korach created division,
strife, and disaster within the community through his
rebellion, discontent, and dirty politics.
In fact, the name Korach is derived from Korcha, which
means split.
Open Torah scroll and silver yad (Torah pointer)
With an utter lack of humility, Korach, who was a
Levite, rose up against Moses, joining forces with Datan and
Aviram, who were from the tribe of Reuben, along with On,
son of Pelet, and 250 respected chieftains from the
Israelite community.
But what charge did the rebels have against Moses?
They accused him of exalting himself over the community:
“They
gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them,
‘You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation
is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why
then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the
Lord?’” (Numbers 16:3)
In fact, this sin
that they accused Moses of was, in reality, their own sin.
Sadly, many are guilty of such self-deception and projection.
It is vital to realize that people often unknowingly judge
others for the very sins that they themselves are committing.
“You, therefore, have no
excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at
whatever point you judge another, you are condemning
yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.”
(Romans 2:1)
Moreover, wicked people don't necessarily realize that
their deeds are evil, having internally justified themselves
that their way is the right way. This in no way negates the
seriousness of that sin, however.
Reading from the Torah scroll.
The Genesis of
Discord and Strife
Wisdom calls for discerning the underlying motivation of a
brother creating strife before making judgments and issuing
condemnations. And this is just what Moses did.
Moses knew the reason for Korach’s discord — the
dark desire that lurked in his heart to exalt himself and
the Levitical priesthood to the position God had expressly
granted to the Aaronic priesthood.
Since God Himself had made the priesthood and outlined the
duties of the Levites, they acted in rebellion against the
authority of God.
Moses pinpointed the problem when he said, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: Is it a
small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you
from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to
Himself, to do the work of the tabernacle of the LORD, and
to stand before the congregation to serve them; and that He
has brought you near to Himself, you and all your brethren,
the sons of Levi, with you?" (Numbers 16:8–10)
Not too long before their rebellion, God chose the Levites
to be caretakers of the Holy Tabernacle — the structure and
its vessels — as servants to the Aaronic priesthood.
While all Levites
serve God, Aaron and his descendants held the special
appointment of being able to approach the altar to perform
sacrifices. The Kohen HaGadol (High Priest) could even
enter the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant
stood, a status that would certainly stir some hearts to
great envy.
Moses pointedly asked the group,
“Are you seeking the priesthood also?”
“Are you seeking the priesthood also?”
The Word of God warns us against this sort of
self-aggrandizing ambition as it brings with it great evil.
“For where you have envy and
selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil
practice.” (James 3:16)
Envy and selfish ambition cause all kinds of trouble in
our personal lives, not only at home or at work, but also in
congregations and fellowships as those who are
neither qualified nor anointed vie for positions God never
intended them to occupy.
The Kohen Gadol (High Priest)
Death and
Separation: The Consequence of Strife
“Moses sent a summons to
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, ‘We
will not come up.’” (Numbers 16:12)
Korach sinned by coveting the more prestigious
role of the Aaronic priesthood, rather than that of
Levitical servanthood. Unlike Datan and Aviram, he
had the courage to confront Moses directly, face to face.
During this confrontation, Datan and Aviram seemed to
remain in their tents. They
sinned by rebelling against Moses’ authority over them as
God’s divinely appointed leader. When
Moses called for them, they replied, “Loh na’aleh (we
won’t go up).”
Ironically, those who refused to “go up” to negotiate
peace with Moses ended up “going down” to their deaths. The
earth swallowed them up (as well as their families and
Korach's family) alive.
“So they and all those with
them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over
them, and they perished from among the assembly." (Numbers
16:33)
The other 250 in the group, who were offering
incense to God and, therefore, elevating themselves to the
position of the Aaronic priesthood, were consumed by fire.
(Numbers 16:35)
The firepans on which they were offering incense were
pounded into copper plating for the altar, a visible warning
for the Levites to stop encroaching on the Tabernacle and
assuming the responsibilities of the Aaronic priesthood.
It also served as a reminder to the community of
Israelites that sowing strife, questioning God's leadership,
and exalting themselves to positions of leadership ultimately
lead to their own destruction.
“A worthless person, a
wicked man ... he sows discord. Therefore his calamity
shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without
remedy.” (Proverbs 6:12–15)
Jewish men and children pray at the Western (Wailing) Wall
in Jerusalem.
Wisdom and Godly
Company: Avoiding the Korachs of Today
The rabbis consider this rebellion of Korach the
most perilous moment for Israel during its wilderness
journey, remembering Korach as the “Torah’s
professional troublemaker and the most famous rabble-rousing
Jew of all time.”
(Torah with a Twist of Humor)
(Torah with a Twist of Humor)
Pointing to the negative example of Korach as a “peddler
of hatred,” the rabbis caution that we should not befriend evil people (al
titchaber im rashah). Indeed, Proverbs
13:20 counsels that “a
companion of fools will suffer harm.”
This is one of the
main lessons that we may learn from this Torah portion.
King Solomon (Melek
Shelomo), whose very name comes from the
Hebrew word for peace (shalom), advises us to find wisdom,
which prevents us from following wicked, devious people:
“Wisdom
will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose
words are perverse, who have left the straight paths to walk
in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the
perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are
devious in their ways.” (Proverbs 2:12–15)
In fact, in this Torah reading, Moses warned the people of
Israel to move away from the tents of Korach, Datan, and
Aviram lest they be destroyed by God's judgment of their sin,
as well:
“Depart, please, from the
tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest
you be swept away with all their sins.” (Numbers 16:26)
Destruction of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram,
illustration from the 1890 Holman Bible
Paul confirms this sage advice of King Solomon
and the rabbis: “Do
not be misled. Bad company corrupts good character.”
(1 Corinthians 15:33)
(1 Corinthians 15:33)
That is not to say that we should not minister to those
who are caught in sin.
Yeshua (Jesus) ate with and talked to sinners and social
outcasts — tax collectors, prostitutes, adulterers, beggars,
and lepers. He loved
them enough to share the Kingdom of God with them and
called them to repentance and holiness.
He did not, however, allow their sinful desires and behavior
to influence or deter His holy purpose.
Yeshua did not allow any outside influence to taint the
holiness of His calling.
Likewise, we should not allow strife, jealousy,
self-aggrandizement, or any other sin to taint our calling as
royal children of the Most High King.
And rather than being jealous of the power, prestige,
position, or possessions of others, let us be content with
what God has given us.
“Godliness with contentment
is great gain.” (1 Timothy 6:6)
Moreover, Yeshua said, “Keep
your lives free from the love of money and be content with
what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave
you; never will I forsake you.’” (Hebrews 13:5)
With God as our Father and Friend, we can trust Him to
meet our social, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

The Strife Among
God’s People Today
“When you saw that
Nahash the king of the Ammonites came against you, you said
to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us,’ when the LORD
your God was your king.” (1 Samuel 12:12)
Sadly, strife and questioning God's appointed leadership
did not end with this incident in the wilderness.
In the Promised Land, God gave the Israelites
judges and prophets, but they continuously rebelled against
them.
For instance, in Haftarah Korach, we find that God answered the Israelite's
request for a king by appointing Saul, and yet the people
questioned Saul's fitness for the job.
(1 Samuel 11:14–12:22)
(1 Samuel 11:14–12:22)
In doing so, they also questioned the authority of the
prophet Samuel, who at their request went to God with their
demand for a king. Samuel defended his authority by saying,
"Here I stand. Testify
against me in the presence of the LORD and His anointed.
Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom
have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand
have I accepted a bribe to make me shut my eyes?"
(1 Samuel 12:3)
(1 Samuel 12:3)
Likewise, Moses defended his conduct as an honorable
leader, saying to God in the presence of his accusers, "I have not taken so much as
a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them." (Numbers
16:15)
Saul Meets Samuel, by James Tissot
When the people admit that Samuel had never
defrauded them, Samuel outlines how God had faithfully
delivered them from their enemies without the aid of a king.
Samuel then provides a sign of his authority, confirming
that the choice of Saul as king is ordained by God. That sign
is unseasonable rain during the dry season:
“Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon
the LORD, that He may send thunder and rain. And you shall
know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have
done in the sight of the LORD, in asking for yourselves a
king.”
(1 Samuel 12:17)
(1 Samuel 12:17)
So the Lord
confirmed His displeasure with the people by sending
thunder and rain on what should have been a joyous feast
day.
When the people repent and ask Samuel to pray, he tells
them how to avoid God's wrath:
“Fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all
your heart. For consider what great things He has done for
you. But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away,
both you and your king.” (1 Samuel 12:24–25)
Samuel anoints Saul as king.
Still, strife did not end with this incident.
The Jewish historian, Josephus, recorded that the Jews of
his time “fought with each other, doing everything their
besiegers could have desired.”
At the time of the invasion of Jerusalem in AD 70, Titus
and his Roman warriors found no less than 24 different
factions fighting amongst themselves, each convinced that only
they had the right way to ensure the salvation of the Jewish
People.
In fact, the destruction of the Second Temple is linked to
sinat chinam
(baseless hatred) between opposing factions.
Today, the Jewish People still struggle with division and
strife. In Israel, animosity and contention rise up between
various movements of Judaism: Ultra-Orthodox, Conservative,
Reform, secular, and even Messianic.
All this discord and
friction in the Jewish community exists despite being a
people who share a common history and heritage and who
worship the same God.
This problem of strife and division amongst brethren is
not unique to Israel and the Jewish People. The Christian
Church is also plagued with many thousands of splits and
denominational divisions — each once convinced that they have
the truth while all others are in error.
Strife and division result in splits. A quarrel-ridden
congregation or home is doomed to destruction. How can it be
otherwise since a house divided upon itself will not stand?
(Mark 3:25; Matthew 12:25)
(Mark 3:25; Matthew 12:25)
Jewish men read Scripture during morning prayer in an Israeli synagogue.
Choose Humility: A
Solution to Strife
The truth of the matter is that Moses did not
exalt himself over Korach and the others; it is God
who raised him up into the position of leading Israel out of
Egypt.
It was not his own desire to be the leader of Israel;
rather, he was a leader of Israel as an act of obedience to
the Lord. He was not in
that position due to self-aggrandizing ambition or a
desire to rule over others.
Even in that exalted position, Moses was called the most
humble man on earth (Numbers 12:3), and we are told
to humble ourselves as well.
Walking in humility is being willing to walk in obedience
to our calling — whether God is requiring us to wash dishes or
serve in a position of leadership or wash dishes while
in a position of leadership.
It also means allowing God to exalt us in His perfect way
and time — not to exalt ourselves out of jealousy or
discontentment, but to be content in our status today. (1
Peter 5:6)
Rabbi Shlomo Moshe Amar, the Chief Rabbi of
Jerusalem, with Jewish Scholar Yosef Yehudah
Joseph J Sherman at Ohr Somayach, Jerusalem.
Choose Gentleness:
Another Solution to Strife
In addition to contentment and humility, we are
not to seek a showdown or create a power-struggle; we are to
seek harmony and peace, allowing God to judge between
people.
The Bible tells us that “a
soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up
anger.” (Proverbs 15:1)
We must remember also that we all see through the glass of
God’s mysteries dimly (1 Corinthians 13:12). One
day, though, when all truth is revealed at the Second Coming
of the Messiah, it may be effortless to live in a world
without strife or division while our Messiah reigns from
Jerusalem.
Until then, we must make a concerted effort to walk in
holiness and unity because this is where the anointing is.
May we all learn to walk in greater humility, contentment,
and gentleness towards all people; and may God bring unity and
peace between brothers, as it is written, “Hinei mah tov umah na’yim;
shevet achim gam yachad (Behold how good and
pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity).” (Psalm
133:1)
In these Last Days, God is moving among His people to
physically and spiritually restore them.
Please unite your prayers with ours for the end-time
salvation of the Jewish People. You can also be part of this
end-time move of God, Charles, by contributing to our work
among the Jewish People.
Shabbat Shalom from

Entire Bibles For Israel Family!
The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.
Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that
this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days,God is moving
among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
