Description

In this conversation with Matan faculty member Simi Peters, we analyze Korach’s tactics that made his rebellion an initial success and what ultimately caused it to fail.  In her unique way, Simi weaves in midrashic traditions that underscore deeper points present in the narrative’s foundation.

These parsha conversations are being recorded in an ever-changing reality here in Israel.  This episode opens with some thoughts about the current moment, with full understanding that reality can change in an instant. With prayers for the success of our unbelievable armed forces and for the return of the hostages.

This week’s episode has been sponsored by Eve and Jonathan Shiff in honor of Israel’s soldiers and the hostages and their families – praying for success and safety, in body and soul.

 

Our Bamidbar Series explores different forms of leadership in the book and in the Jewish world.
