In this epic parsha, a man named Korach decides to rebel against Moshe. He draws two known troublemakers, Dasan and Aviram, into his scheme. Additionally, he recruits members of the tribe of Reuven. This complex story teaches us:

• Leadership is based on being chosen, not craving prestigious positions.


• Craving power can lead to one's downfall.


• We are impacted by the company we keep- as is exhibited by the differences between Korach's wife and On's wife.


• Common sense can only get us so far. We also need to respect and value expertise.
