    Can We Identify the Techeiles?

    When we are commanded about wearing tzitzis, the Torah includes two mitzvos. In addition to the mitzvah of wearing tzitzis threads on the corners of the garment, there is an additional mitzvah that some of the tzitzis threads should be dyed with a special dye called techeiles. (There is a dispute among the Rishonim how many of the tzitzis threads are to be dyed techeiles.) This dye must be made from a species called chilazon (Tosefta Menachos 9:6).

    The Prophet Shmuel "Caused" the Sin

    The Prophet Shmuel is the "cause" for the uprising by Korah and his gang. But if we look more deeply, we will see that Shmuel is also the rectification of Korah's sin! How so?

    High-Sounding Words

    The rebellion of Korach is not a small offense but a great personal failing like the sin of the Golden Calf. It is a mortal blow to the continuity of the Jewish people and to its very survival.

    When Truth Is Sacrificed to Power

    What was wrong with the actions of Korach and his fellow rebels? They had a point. Why was there a hierarchy, with Moses as leader and Aaron as High Priest?

    How to Handle Disagreements

    Machloket (disagreement) is an inseparable part of the Jewish experience. Clarifying a matter and listening to the other side – yes! Personal insults and lack of respect toward the person with whom we disagree – no and, again, no!

    Korach – He has a point

    One can define Korach's camp as an ideological group, except that it was tainted by the faults that bring down many failed ideologies.

    Preserving the Old, Inspiring the New

    Why did Moshe respond so differently with Korah and his gang than with Eldad and Medad? Regarding the latter, he prayed that everyone should be a prophet - yet with Korah, he was greatly angered at the claim that "everyone is equally holy." Why?

    Winners & Choosers

    In Parshat Shlach, the majority of the greatest spiritual leaders in the nation conclude that the time was not yet right to enter Eretz Yisrael. In Korach also goes against the Establishment. So how do we decide when to go against the grain, & when to respect the existing status quo?

    Throughout the ages, the commentators have asked themselves the famous question "What drove Korach to commit such a foolish act?”

    To “Go Up” or Not Go Up, and the Land of Milk and Honey

    What is the significance of Eretz Yisrael being called flowing with milk and honey? This is the sign of agricultural blossoming in Eretz Yisrael.

    Letter of the Law

    Korach’s argument presupposes that it is the reason behind the Law and not the Law itself that is ultimately binding. Moses, on the other hand, derives the law matter-of-factedly, the reason behind it playing no role in its obligatoriness.
