All of the community, every one of them is holy. G‑d is within them. So why do you elevate yourselves above the assembly of G‑d? (Numbers 16:3)
Korach was right.
He had a real truth, and a real question. Just that he wasn’t interested in hearing the answer.
All the people stood at Mount Sinai and received the Torah—the highest form of prophecy.
With every individual G‑d made a covenant, promising, “You will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation for Me.”
Yes, it is true that we are all holy. That’s where Korach was right.
But we need that holiness to shine. And to shine, we need to be plugged into a higher source of power.
That’s where Korah was wrong. Because to connect to something higher than yourself, you need someone who is already there.
That was the role of Moses and Aaron, and it is the job of every tzadik who bears their spirit in every generation:
To guide each holy soul to find its connection to the infinite light of the One Above, and to fan the flames of their fire.
The job of Moshiach is to bring AM Israel to do teshuvah. We can all help to bring Moshiach quicker when we invite a non observant person to our Shabbat table. And show him unconditional love.
If you are successful in bringing even one person to yiddishkeit, then you are his/ her's moshiach.
"If you are successful in bringing even one person to yiddishkeit, then you are his/ her's moshiach."
What is the source of this?
Thank you
