Failures and Followers: Torah Portion of Korach
Korach's affront to Moses' leadership reveals how grave character flaws make a person incapable of being a follower.

He also serves as Chaplain of the York Regional Police Service. He is an active member of Toronto’s Vaad HaRabbanim (Council of Orthodox Rabbis), and a voting member of the COR Kashruth Council of Canada’s executive rabbinical board. Rabbi Kaplan is featured regularly on many local television and radio shows. He is a sought after speaker, with hundreds of lectures on Chabad.org. He and his wife, Faygie, are blessed with eight children. Artistically endowed, the rabbi enjoys drawing, sketching and creating charcoal portraits.

the System Thank you very much for answering the question I had about the position (function) of the Rebbe. I will try to implement the teachings of the Rebbeim in my day-to-day life because that is what G-d wants me to do. Reply
Thank you... it proves that "global warming" is from our sins. If we could fixthis with teshuva,tehillim and tithing. We would end thw climate crises.
