How to Set Proper Priorities: A Taste of Text—Korach
Our to-do lists are filled with mundane and important chores, little and big things that all require our immediate attention. It can be difficult to keep our eyes on the big picture. Surprisingly, Korach teaches us an important lesson in how to keep our priorities in order.

Unfortunately many priests and rabbis today need to be reminded how special their role is. Many are also caught up in the secular world and are lost. Trying to find holy men is itself getting harder. Thank G-d for Chabad its outreach educational programs and shining the light of G -d onto those who are lucky enough to tune in. Reply

Priorities Saving lives always comes first,no matter who you are or where your from.Serving G-D and humanity is an honor,and begins all "to do"lists.After this you may set your priorities according to whats most important to you and place it second,and work your way from there. Reply

How To Set Proper Priorities In other words, meditate on the Most High G-d in everything that we do. Keep in mind that Hashem, blessed be He, is amongst us, that everything that we do, and there is, is because of His Mercies. Reflection on His Love, Power, and Compassion, are always with us, and for us. Then we can live a peaceful, loving, life, with ourselves and others. Even though most people are not aware of the presence of G-d, the only True One of the Universe. The Eternal G-d. To achieve this state, I believe, is to share with others when it is permissible, and provided. On the other hand, spend time with G-d in the solitude of one's privacy speaking, seeking His guidance, His Love, and His Instruction/Torah. Most other will not understand one, but this is our own priority, if we so choose. Thank you Chana Weisberg for allowing us participation at your table.
