This week in the State of Israel, Jews listened as the baal koreh read the Parsha dealing with Korach! Now that I am a bit older, I look at the parsha a little different, and I noticed that in the very first verse, the Torah names the ones that supported Korach ...Dasan and Aviram!
Very familiar names, in fact, the very first conversation that Moshe Rabbeinu had with another Jew, recorded in the torah is with these very people, Dasan and Aviram, way back in Parshas Shmos!
Moshe notices two Jews arguing with each other and saw one raise his hand ,so he told the one who raised his hand, the rasha, למה תכה רעך?
Know that he never struck him, he just raised his hand and the torah calls him a רשע!
It is interesting to note, that back in Shmos, Dasan and Aviram tell Moshe...............מי שמך לאיש ..... "who put you in charge," and in this weeks Parsha they tell him basically the same thing: כי תשתרר עלינו גם השתרר.... "you seek to dominate us, even to dominate further" .... nothing has really changed
In the clip below, Bneן-Torah are wearing "yellow stars" while totally paralyzing the lives of millions of Jews! Stopping traffic from Yerushlayim, Beit Shemesh, Beitar Illit, and Ben Gurion Airport.
Millions could not travel not even to and back from the airport as they also blocked the trains. Thousands missed their flights and those returning after spending 11 hours on an airplane had to spend another 4-5 hours waiting for the protests to stop! Ambulances couldn't get through, and mothers couldn't get to their families, and the elderly sat for hours in buses and cars in the heat!
All this while their Rosh Yeshiva schnor for them in the USA
There are other videos that we posted last week, you can actually see these Bnei-Torah beating up the drivers of the cars that they stopped, that tried getting through. In one incident a lady that was surrounded by these out-of-control "Torah Learners" panicked after being stoned and surrounded and had no choice but to drive through these Bnei-Torah that were in the streets instead of the Bais Hamedrish
The Yeshiva World Media Site headlined this incident :"CHAREIDI BLOOD IS FREE: Driver Who Struck Protester Released Without Questioning"
No one in Israel thinks that "Charedie blood is free" except for their Torah Leaders that send them out there to cause chaos!
These hypocritical Charedie news outlets, always playing the victim, are not only encouraging this violence, with their disingenuous headlines but by defending these mobsters they are guaranteeing that this lawlessness of those learning Torah will continue!
And someone is going to get killed very soon if this continues; you heard it here first!
These Bnei-Torah are described by the Torah as רשעים!
ויאמר לרשע למה תכה רעך
It struck me that while out children in uniform are fighting Arabs, Bnei-Torah are fighting other Jews!
Now let's analyze the 250 Jewish leaders that fought alongside Korach!
You don't need any commentaries to describe to you who they were. The Torah goes out of its way, to describe them for you:
נשיאי עדה קראי מועד אנשי שם
"leaders of the assembly, those summoned for meetings, men of renown"
The Torah added 6 extra words to describe these rashaim!
These were none other then the Sanhedrin, the Moetzes Gedoilei Hador of that generation, and not only were they from the Sanhedrin, but according to Rashi, they were the heads, the leaders of the Sanhedrin!
Because of their treachery, they were burned:
ואש יצאה מאת ה' ותאכל את החמשים ומאתים איש מקריבי הקטרת
"A flame came forth from Hashem and consumed 250 men who were offering the incense"
The question is: In what way did they sin that they were ultimately burned?
We know that : במידה שאדם מודד בה מודדים לו
That Hashem punishes מידה כנגד מידה and since they offered incense which only a Kohein can do they were burned since incense is burned..
But didn't they just witness the death of Nadav Ve'veeha that brought an offering of fire?" Why didn't they learn from this?
One can simply answer that they reasoned that since Moshe talks to Hashem, and he, Moshe told them to do it, then they had permission to do it, whereas Nadav and Aveeha had no such permission.
The sheer irony of this way of their Yeshivishe thinking is mind blowing , because on one hand they are actually claiming that Moshe appointed himself and in the same breath they are permitting themselves to offer incense because Moshe told them to do it, but one cannot reason with someone that has a "burning" desire to push through their agenda!
Then why did they get burned?
Much ink has been spilled trying to understand this, and most conclude that since they entered into Machlokas, which is basically a "fire" they were in turn burned by fire!
I am sure that the 250 Gedoiei Hador had no doubt at all that what they were doing was לשם שמים! They had time to think about their decision as the Torah writes:
בקר וידע ה' את אשר לו
Moshe gave them a night to think about it, and so 250 Gedoilei Hador, the Moetzet Gedoilei Hador of the greatest generation that ever lived, had over 15 hours to think about this and I'm sure they thought good and hard that entire night, and after davening Shachris with their Taleisim over their heads and saying long Shemonei Esras and then putting on Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin, decided to nevertheless go ahead with their plan.
My dear friends, I will leave it at that, and I'm sure you can read between the lines what exactly I am implying!
The Bnei-Torah who sit in front of buses and their silent R"Y, do not believe that davening against the "geziros" will do any good, and they don't really believe that their learning Torah helps them at all, they believe that the only way is to do "hishtadlis" an "histadlis" that disrupts the lives of millions of innocent Jews!
זו תורה וזו שכרה
