Is Life an Optical Illusion?: Parshat Korach
Why were the sinful pans of rebellious mutineers transformed into a holy altar? Perhaps to teach us how to transform our perspective on how we view each other.

Thank you Chana for sharing this Rebbe's insight on transformation of sinful pans into a holy altar!
With regard to "...And if this is how G-d views inanimate metal, imagine His love for human beings who are never irredeemable..." can you share Rebbe's (or any other Sage's) insight on how the rebellious mutineers were redeemed (given that they were swallowed by the earth?) If they, being swallowed by the earth is an "optical illusion" / "an old lady," please kindly enlighten us on the "beautiful young girl" hidden transformation / redemption of these rebellious mutineers.
Thanks Again.
