Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Moshe sent for Dosson and Aviram, sons of Eliav; and they said, “We will not come! (Numbers 16:12) RASHI on 16:12: From here we learn that one should not persist in strife (Midrash Tanchuma, Korach 10), for you see that Moshe sought them out in order to conciliate them by peaceful words (Sanhedrin 110a). Many [...]

חזקת החפות מפשע

The Power To Change

16:1 Korach took… The Baal Haturim quotes the verse in Koheles (5:12) that says “Wealth kept by its owner is to his detriment”. The Medrash tells us “How did Korach persuade people to follow him? He bought them, as it states ‘Vayikach Korach’” This was the beginning of his downfall. On this verse in Koheles, [...]

לשקם את הרע

" וַיִּקַּח קֹרַח..." (במדבר טז:א) הבעל הטורים מצטט פסוק מקוהלת (ה:יב) " עֹשֶׁר שָׁמוּר לִבְעָלָיו, לְרָעָתוֹ". המדרש אומר "איך קרח שכנע אנשים ללכת אחריו? הוא קנה אותם, שנאמר 'ויקח קרח' ". זה היה תחילת נפילתו. על הפסוק הזה בקהלת המדרש משווה קרח להמן, שאף הוא שילם סכום מופרז כדי לאבד את היהודים. חז"ל אומרים על [...]

Sleep On It?

People are often given advice in marriage, and sometimes this advice does not pertain exclusively to marriage. One of these pieces of advice is “don’t sleep on a fight.” One is advised to resolve the issue before going to sleep and having the discord embedded more deeply in one’s mind. I have wondered many times [...]

לישון על זה?

לפעמים אנשים מקבלים עצות בנישואין, ולעיתים זו עצה שאינה קשורה אך ורק לענייני נישואין. דוגמה לעצה כזאת היא "אל תלך לישון עם ויכוח". מומלץ לסדר את הנושא לפני השינה, כדי שהמחלוקת לא תהיה מעורה יותר במוחו. שאלתי את עצמי כמה פעמים מה המקור לרעיון זה ואם בתורה, אולי, יש משהו לומר על זה (עיין בגמרא [...]

Out of the Box

Chazal describe how Own Ben Peles’s wife used her wisdom to extricate her husband from the machlokes in this week’s parsha, by asking him “What do you have to gain?” (meaning, you won’t get any honor anyway). There may possibly be a deeper understanding to this wise insight. When I was a bochur in yeshiva, [...]
