Korach
Thank you Rabbi Moshe for this teaching. It opens my eyes to the motive of the character in spiritual worship and service. Status vs selflessness. My glory vs G-d's glory. My 'right' to choose' vs G-d's right to choose who HIs servants will be. This account is a serious sober reminder to tremble before we 'think' we are worthy of G-d's service, and the danger of jealousy and envy. Striving for excellence, has some treacherous potholes to look out for. There are indeed many layers to this account. Much to think about, and ponder in private examination. G-d Bless you, and deep appreciation for this study.
Thank you.

Blessings to all of you from the bottom of my heart.
