Parshas Korach with Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger

Evening to all of you here in gullis tonight the yard site of whose yardite was today gimmel Thomas so we're intent gimmel in the back thank anytime and thank you for everybody who helps put this together tonight it the is Elzar whose yard site is today and who's sponsoring for you when tonight is also forb and my mother died to Ben Karen, Mayor Miriam. Okay. parishes letter B. You'll find it on page saddic bay saddic bay. Let's go to the rashi that the zerosimshin quotes today. Zerosimshin is a dak from a rashi. says that and his group gathered together is all you what you've been doing is you've been being unnecessarily you're taking leadership for you and your says Rashi quotes if you took or since you took for self. I'm continuing the rash. Everybody heard I am being on you. I'm being on your I'm being on a har taking the kahuna. If you notice, says the zerosimshin rashi makes a a discrepancy between the way he he quotes. Why wasn't rashi consistent? Why didn't he say if he wants to use why did you take the and take the or you want to use the lotion of your so why don't you use the lotion of for yourself if you want to be consistent and say you shouldn't have taken You shouldn't have given what did mean when he's quoting and changing the lotion of the Tina that has is you're doing you're taking everything for yourselves. Why is there a in these two and we're going to learn tonight the Indian of Malus and Yusha meaning the idea of what kind of position does the Melik have visav his children and also legab the Indian of Kahuna visav their children the kilik between le and brea that mentioned in general these two these two remember everybody in Clay was the same and then the said that Yehuda they should be theim shud they're the kings Yehudah is the and of First of that's the shvet of Malus Ley was the shvet of kadusha and in the last few parishes what happened was that ley became a subcategory within ley there now became because everybody was once upon a time a ley but then aaron and his children they all became and by the way. It was them five. Those five, nobody else. If Pinas Benazar Benaharin who was around at that time, not if he was a ley even though his Tati became a cayenne and his zadei aaron became a kay, he had the bad masle at that time to be already born. Which means that even the gr all of Aaron's grandchildren that were around now um summer were the only two who had kids because were before they had kids right >> what's that >> um not excuse me they didn't have any kids they didn't have any kids but whichever kids allow of Islam had at that time were Levim. They didn't become Kahanim. Only the new children that were born going forward. Those are the ones once Aharin and his kinder became. So now the next brothers became Khanim. What's a few? That's right. But the original with the m a few shabas will get pin becomes a because of the act that he does in order to save claw by the by the he is an exception to all the other kahan. He was a selfmade ken. He made himself into a ken. So some of them were and the other ones the new ones were the kahanim here says the fact that rashi uses the lotion leer by kohuna and uses the lotion of by teaches us a lot about the essence of kohuna and malus and how the heritage goes. While it's true when you have a king or you have a and there is somebody one of their children that's royal they're the ones who should become melik. But if someone has a child which is not he doesn't take over the gu that there's a child that's out that's why sometimes unfortunately there's amongst the why do split because it's not just about the it's about who's royu to be the melik right if there's nobody who's royu to be the melik They say the is like a so if he's not royal he's not going to be a meal that's by malus is a lot of taking of writ of being a leader in requires Here's that's regarding regarding as an Indian of you have to take it regular. We're not talking about everybody gets used, myself included, to think that what they argued about was right if you look at the lotion of Rashi and it's very clear that the was medactic and Rashi says he doesn't say was upset about the fact that Aaron and his kids became the kahhanim. Why shouldn't we be khanim? Me and my children let us be the kahhanim. Why did you take this part of the family your brother and gave him kahuna? >> If Aaron was taking it for himself, why would he have given it to all his kids grandkids? >> The t of kai was it didn't come from it came from. >> No, but I'm saying that why didn't he give it to all Aaron's grandchildren? Why only those five? A why came of right there came right you're asking he he was jealous so therefore he was making cash is if it really was all them taking so get go ahead and give it to all of them together at one time true but the point is that because of his jealousy and was upset about the appointments of other levim and other levim him giving prominent position and hast you know was from the people who carried the orin amongst ley he had a tremendous amount of mybies we always like to quote my rebi Shapiro he once said in Shir a fascinating insight into ashirus and this shir is probably by is a good time to mention it. Ashirus people think is an expression of the mid of the mid he wants to be misid with certain people so he gives him a name doesn't come from comes from the kazal teach us was he wasn't because they had a lot of money rebby had more money, but he was the people that the aister gave power to. Wealthy people because of the money that they have have influence. They can make a difference. The kayak of Cass, the Kayak of Ashirus is the Kayak of Gur. Of the three of the richest of the wasitu says Rashi quotes that the Zel of was more than the of all the A of who was represented. He was the amongst the and is that mid. So means he had a lot of influence. As you could see the whole parish is named after him. So his was what you give the kahuna not the per se the kohuna of being of them more than your m of me or anybody for that matter. And the and the difference by says when the even if they're not once a father why are you a like once asked of he said why are you not a right he says because my father wasn't a why wasn't because his father wasn't a kite. So a whole lesson that the wanted to teach but the point was very posit means it was that it's yours which has no ifands and buts it became and now once he and his kids became is which means you have to constantly be you have to take it with your midas and So that's wants to say that's why there's a difference between when was making his says the now let me tell you what was thinking If you understood that malus is something that a person can only get because they deserve it. So he you recognize yourself. What happened to Mishraenu's children? Rabbi is gin did he become his? No, he didn't. Yeshua became so that this is something that a person deserves. You have at least the foresight to see that your children won't get this. They won't have it. If that's way you understood that is so why weren't you consistent by the kahuna as well? What did you just give away the whole kahuna to your brother? What are you giving it away? What are you giving away for? Who is it yours to give away that now him and his kids and the next let him be royu just like by the malas. Why is there a distinction between the two? This is and is why is there a between the two? Why are you going ahead and giving it away like that regardless if they're roy or not? A should be a if his father's a let him deserve it too. Let kahuna be a kadusha. What's the why does understand this? Watch what he says. What is this? It all depends of understanding the well held. If you ask a to do you a personal favor, you tell a can you please get me a safer? Can you get me a cup of water? Can you bring my car around? What's that? You're my beectish. Even if you're a cayenne, so what? You being a cayenne doesn't mean that you have a right to go and ask another kay to do something. You're and where does the learn this from? This was the we learn it out from the mdesh just like if you use a kish theim were similar. They're like the kale. They're the ones who serve in the bdash. You serve with the and the are the ones who serve. Therefore, hell that has a den of and truth be told says the is so that there's a then it's not his kadusha then he has no right to be on it. It's so those who hold that could say it's okay I'll get you your car I'll get you the safer I'll do that that means that you hold that the is not liked that's that's your to go ahead and be that's and where does this come from and what's the reason says is a grace of kahanim as well as the levim where the kahanim come from their kadusha came when the chose they switched out on the bur that's the whole story of kai remember how kaira got jealous because he came home he was bald all of his hair was gone he was kak but not just there all of his hair why because all 22,000 levim had to have their whole hair and everything cut off and Aron had to pick them up because they were like the in last week's pares told because of theapor of the soim became like a tumor they became like a carbon instead of Claus and they had to be tanufa. Tanufa means waving them. You had to wave the levim. Aaron had to be pretty strong to pick up 22,000 levim. He had to pick them all up and make like a tanufa with them. So where does their kadusha come from? who the man is the as well as the which in the slave all of that even though they were there to the but their kadusha was inherent and since the kadusha is inherent you can't be m on They held that the what we call in Yiddishim. You know what that means, Rabbi Isai? means like when a when you get a new family member he's called right he's a kim he just came from outside of the family into the family what's a newcomer so the levim's kadusha says the zerimshen one opinion the first opinion it's inherent their kadusha was kadesh because they were kesh goes back to ley it goes back to yankavinu that they from then and therefore you can't be and therefore it's an inherent kadusha that's the real kadusha understood it's all it's all something that they got because of the sin the were the original and we had to be to them and therefore therefore the kad is not inherent and therefore they could The like for example the same idea the gmorrah says the zerosim is by the malus of sch was a king and the gmorrah says it was a ton because he was on his who gave him a right to be says the same story because schol thought since he's not from he knows me so maybe his mal is an og It's not the original malus. So therefore, he can go to be. He made a mistake. It wasn't supposed to be that way. Says the So let's move along to the next paragraph. That's the original Mal, what you call the OG Malus. That's the Malus you can't be on. But the Malus of Sch since he's not MV Yehuda, he thought that he can be the type of person that if he wants to be, he could be. But the truth is and that's as well. He knew that he was a mel in in the in in the midbar not it's not something that goes to his children etc. If you took this, so you understand, why did you take the malus? Why did you take it? Because you're not from Yehuda. And ask him, if you'd be from Yehuda, then it would be yours. your children all of Yehuda all of David I'm asking but you knew that you're not from them you know why you're not from them so you don't go ahead and deserve it so what is it then it's tight vi it's in the meantime it's because there's no other king right now so you became the king and if your kids are going to become the king they're going to deserve it too well that's what le is tinus kaira we're the exact same thing there shouldn't be a difference between the according to you're treating the kahuna by your brother as though it's a bra was because he was taken head and he was picked up like it says in so he saw the whole inion of the kahuna and the levia as just there because couldn't be. So this is his whole Tina and says the zerosim. This is what Rashi means. When Rashi says in that you took for yourself the you took means to say you know that it's not inherent within you and then you went and you inconsistently were for your brother. Who gave you the right to go and do that? And if you understood that by you it's a you don't go ahead and give it away from him forever. And here was where say it fits in beautifully saw he saw that there would be a great person that would come from him. Who was that? Rabbi say and he said would be like that would be as big and he saw that his descendant says his eye fooled him. He saw shall look he was a big he was a person and he saw in the future that he would have a and he said it has to be that this what Aaron has is to me so therefore that's why so he's saying what Aaron has Aaron has today but it doesn't mean it's kinder you look at this I have my kids I'm going to be now I want to share with you something that I saw from the magala when I was by my thank Thank you. My son became a this week and the mitten my new mitten Morty Schwarz showed me that he's an anal. So I want to say over what says on this week's pari when was told that he should go to his brother to go find his brother and he'll be his partner back then a harin was still a ley there was no kahuna back then kun only happened later on in desert. Why does he have to say? Why do they have to say that? Hey, one of the most hush ladies in all of the history of Cla was Hanovi. He came from Kai. He was the one who anointed Sha. He was the one who anointed David Melik. The Malus in Claus came through him. He had a sh to the leadership. was the what didn't was that would come back and it would be the zero shoo Aaron Mish meaning when he saw what Aaron had and he saw it to me says he thought it was the of Aaron that was to him that the of Aaron would come down through him again when it has to come down to this world that's what would come down to that >> I'm telling you first of all by the moral we're going to talk about the greatness of but the gave he empowered him with the ash and he powered him with such a with such a par that himself becomes he's he was carrying the tyra of carrying the urin from the levim the levim that they were carrying on each of the sticks right there were two in the front and in the backy was one of those people Yeah was one of those four people. So's influence in was so great. So was that from him should come the person that would be what he didn't know was that from so when he saw and he saw the he said there's something over that he has that belongs to me but it's not the it's and therefore that was the and That's where Kairo with the fact that he had all the influence and with the subur and everything but this because he was looking for godloss and he had ka he was jealous so therefore he couldn't stand he couldn't see clearly and was blinded so he saw but he didn't see properly that's what the isalain appoints someone when you see people in life that have success and sometimes a How did he get a promotion? Or how did he get this thing? How did he get that? How did he get that business deal? And a person says I deserve it. What? A person shouldn't be jealous and a person shouldn't see the success of others and say I should go ahead and get it. That's one of the lessons we learned from Paras. Was he deservant of it in a certain way? Yes, but Kyra would have achieved his greatness through humility. Kyra would have been had he been humble, had he been humble aikenu and would have capitulated and said m you know what you're talking about then it would have been a tikun in you like never before but kak messed up. Do you know what did two minutes I quote the Gmorra all the time. There were three people who had a time of they created a kesher between this world and the next world did too. He opened up a doorway to Gehenn went straight to Gehenn in the wrong direction. He made a in straight when you say somebody go to right but he went to literally physically that's what happened. He went up. So what did he do? His was that from this world. He opened up a straight to hell, straight to Ghan. That's what he did. That was what he opened up. You see the power of from what he was meal. And therefore can live their lives be jealous. And you know what that means? They can bury themselves with their jealousy. They can undo all the good that they had. Who opened up such a opened up such a says the we should be he should be able to come back with all the of the desert. We should be amen. >> Amen.
