0:01 Nobody throughout the span of Jewish history seems to have gotten this unique, special treatment like Korach. Insert whatever Tagonist, whichever, russia, you very well may, and search his punishment. What he had to endure because of his actions He doesn't seem like anyone got the likes of which Korach had to have all of your friends and your family and your co-conspirators, and even the innocent young nursing children, go down, perish and suffer because of you. What Korach did was so unimaginable that the Almighty made a miracle and the earth opened itself and consumed them.
0:49 Yet perhaps there have been worse people The likes of Nimrod, who built a tower and sought to rebel against the Almighty. Insert Paro, who sought to murder millions and stamp out the Jewish seed from the map of the entire world. Insert Asav, who wanted to be Bikeshlaakar as Haqqoyl. The likes of contemporary wicked ones. What about Hitler installing all of these horrible people, murderers? and yet nobody got what Korach got. And what's more, what sin did he even do? He made some conflict? Yes, i hear that you're going to muster schmooze me about conflict.
1:30 Avoid the Zara. Others have done murder, others have done, yet this happens for Korach and his family. Why? There's a plan from the Ramba Memorina Vuchem Ayen Shom. You can see it in Shar'Gimel. There's a mahalachanu approach unbelievable from Khasam Sofar's Rebbe, the Baal Hafla'a and Traktik Subis. But perhaps the best place And one of the most eye-opening teachings is a treatise authored by Maharal, explaining a citation, an explanation of the Pusuk and our partial, from Rashi. Rashi says you know why the kids perished? Ba'u Re'ay Kamakoshahah Mahlokis. Come and see how terrible Mahlokis is.
2:12 Rashi's giving a Shalashutis muster schmooze. Sharei Be'zen Shal'Ma'ila, mat'ein Oynshinella Aji'obe Shesh Cyrus, you're not punished when you live down on this earth by the court until you reach maturity. Who Be'zen Shal'Ma'ila and the upper heavenly court does not punish young people until they are 20 years old. And yet here, even nursing young babies holding their blankets, curling up with their mother, were swallowed. For what reason? Why? Because of Mahlokis. This is what the words say. Bo'u Shteito. We can only take what Rashi says to Maharal. You know why this is. It's not for nothing, it's not a coincidence, because you know why younger than 20 doesn't get punished.
2:55 When you're young, the Almighty is flexible with you. You're young, you don't have your full brain capacity, you haven't reached maturation. So now that gives you some leeway, some flexibility. But if you are so entrenched in your Mahlokis. You are so staunch in your opinion You are so You make yourself a formidable foe, an immovable object. You're unwilling to bend even the littlest bit. You're so fastidious on your Mahalik that you will not bend to see it from someone else's position, then the Almighty is inflexible with you and even your young, 20-year-old kids. God uses your approach and says all also, remain strong and punish the din Mahalik that you chose Enough said about Mahlokis Give in, yeah, your friends ditched.
3:42 You. Give in, don't start a Mahlokis. Your husband, your wife, it hurts, yes, don't start a Mahlokis.
