Let It Be
This week’s
parasha, Korah, is named after a Levite, who, along with 250 other Israelites,
attempted to rise up against Moses. They felt it was unfair that Moses and
Aaron had the positions that they did. Moses had them take fire pans with incense
and put them before the L-rd. The outcome was the earth swallowing Korah, his
people, and their possessions. A fire consumed the 250 lackeys.
We all know
someone or maybe even a few people who just don’t like you, whether it be
jealousy or something else. You can’t please them no matter what. But if you
notice, Moses doesn’t argue, doesn’t stoop to their level. He immediately falls
to his knees and goes to Hashem. We too should not let people like Korah break
us, just turn to the L-rd. “Do not be vexed by evil men; do not be incensed by
wrongdoers; for soon they wither like grass, like verdure fade away (Ps 37:1-2)
