Have a Great Weekend Everybody!

.
Shalom /Peace to everyone.

Not much to blog these days.

This week is the weekly reading of the Bible portion about Korach coming against Moses. Its Numbers 16:1-18, 32.



Often times, we call out a Bible portion by various names, sometimes its the name of a person because of their significance. For example, there is a portion called Yitro -Jethro? the father of Tzipporah, father-in-law of Moses. He was significant because he was not Jewish. In fact he worshipped all kinds of idols, but then turned to believing in one God. He even helped Moses in sorting out how to deal with all the multitude of people.



There is another Biblical reading portion called Bilam. He was wicked but still significant. As the sages teaches, he was a match for Moses! Yep, the Moses who could ask God to do this and that, on his merit. (So, let that be a lesson to y'all Jews abd non-Jews alike, you can rise to a high level-- just be on the side of good! lol)



But why Korach?? He was so envious of Moses's leadership, he was prepared to stand against him.

Anyway, have a great weekend, a Shabbat shalom!
