Parshas Korach (5770)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

The beginning of the sedra (16:2) the pasuk relating Korach’s standing up against Moshe, states: “Veanashim mi bnei Yisroel” which is referring to the group that joined Korach. In the simple sentence structure it may look as though these people were on Moshe’s side and it is puzzling why it was written in this vague way. Perhaps the message is that they were very close to the border line in their association with Korach yet they were considered a part of his contingency.

The lesson is how careful we must be not to align ourselves with shittos that are not Torah true. We might find ourselves guilty of being aligned with groups that have incorrect outlooks.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a fulfilling, uplifting Chodesh.
