parshat Korach

What exactly was wrong in what Korach and his motley band of fellow agitators said? was what they said true or false?

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?”

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

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.

An answer to the question, "If Moshe didn't merit to enter the Land of Israel, why should we?"
