In this week’s parsha, Emor, the Torah recounts the troubling story of the מקלל mekalel — the man who, shockingly, cursed the Ribbono Shel Olam.
But what pushed him to such an unthinkable act?
“Is this how we honor Hashem? A king is served warm, freshly baked bread. Why should God receive week‑old bread?”
In his mind, he was standing up for Kavod Shamayim. He was a kanoi, a zealot for Hashem’s honor.
And yet — only minutes after this supposed righteous indignation — he turned around and cursed the very God he claimed to defend.
What happened?
So why was he inserting himself into a matter that wasn’t his business, and that he didn’t understand?
Because this is the danger of people who fight “leshem Shamayim.”
A fight that begins “for Hashem” can end in the exact opposite.
The Peleg-Auerbach crazies bring their Gemarras and Seforim while sitting and blocking buses and cars filled with mothers trying to get home to feed their children, with the elderly sitting in traffic for hours, with fathers trying to get home after a whole day at work, children anxious to get home, but they are doing "God's work" it's after all, לשם שמים
I would not be surprised to hear that many will turn and become the infamous מקלל!
There is an instagram channel where many of these Peleg-Auerbach have already turned and gone off the derech!
