Parashat Korach: Was it all Negative?

Parashat Korach 5782: Was it all Negative?

Description: In this podcast, we explore the mixed motivations behind Korach’s challenge to Moshe and Aaron’s leadership. Can one be driven by ego and still mix in a valid claim? Was Korach’s claim that “all the people are holy” easily dismissed? We also discuss the ways in which challenging authority and healthy mahloket (disagreement) are part of our culture yet sorely lacking in contemporary life.
