Stumpers and Something to Think About
- The medrash describes that Korach approached Moshe and Aharon with two arguments:
-
“Does a talis made completely of techeiles require a
string of techeiles?”
-
“Does a room full of sifrei Torah require a mezuza on
its doorpost?”
a.
What are the answers to these questions? Why?
b.
What exactly was Korach getting at with this debate?
c.
How do these “attacks” on Moshe and Aharon fit with Korach's
motto of “ki kol ha'eidah kulam kedoshim u'vesocham
Hashem” ?
d.
How is the story of Korach similar to the episode of the meraglim
and their statement of “va'nehi v'eineinu
ka'chagavim” ?
- The Torah tells us that after Korach came to Moshe rabbeinu, Moshe fell on his face. There are three different types of “falling on the face” thorughout Tanach. What are they? Extra Credit: When do they occur?
