[Music] Welcome to this week's embedded inspire. This parasa parat korak is a very very special parasa. It's a very serious parasa and it teaches us a tremendous tremendous lesson. Korak which was Mosher Rabenu's cousin his first cousin. He started a rebellion, a mlo an argument with Mosher Rabenu. Mosher Rabenu started a rebellion against Mosher Rabenu. Explained he had great intentions and when you learn it deeply, there were a lot of great intentions that he had. He even convinced 250 of the heads of the Jewish court, the Sanhedrin, to go with him. He convinced great people to go on his side and externally he had great intentions. Internally our rabbis explain explain that what was really really bothering him on a simple level what was really bothering him was that Mosher Rabeno appointed someone who he felt that he shouldn't appoint to be the head of of the Levim. He felt he needed to be appointed and he felt very hurt and he felt his honor was slighted. Because of that he made a major major rebellion and the end of that rebellion was very very bad for him and all of his people. In the end we know the story what happened. He was swallowed up and his whole family was swallowed up from the ground under the ground. It's unbelievable. The rabbis ask the his children the babies were even swallowed up. So the rabbis ask what did they do wrong? So rabbis say very very very very powerful message says that arguments even if it's done for the right reasons and even if externally you think it's done for the right reasons deep inside he was arguing because of honor and arguments with that for that reason arguments for your honor arguments that you go headto-head with Mosher Rabenu could lead to destruction and arguments lead even to babies being taken away from this world and say how great is that he even takes babies who are who are still nursing from their mother out of this world. So one lesson we can learn from here is that to stay away from arguments, you have to stay away from arguments. In order to avoid this negativity, we have to stay away from arguments. And even we think our arguments are legitimate. Even if we think we have we have a reason to argue, there are other ways to do it. There are other ways to do it. to talk to the person privately, to go and and work it out privately and not to make a rebellion and not to make a lot of noise and not to bring people on your side and to make a whole whole fight that's going to take more people down with them. And how much more so the Jewish people right now we need we need shalom. We need peace. We need peace because we have enough people want to hurt us. So, Hashem should give us a braha that if we have something that we want to argue about with somebody, can be our spouses, can be our children, can be our relatives, can be a boss, can be our friend, can be a coworker, to deal with it in a very rare respectful way and to deal with it in a very low-key way, one-on-one rather than bringing a whole argument and whole fight because as we see that arguments in the end, no one wins. In the end, no one wins. So I give a braha to us that we should be able to be in peace with ourselves, with our with our friends and with Hashem. Have a great week. Shabbat shalom.
