Truly Humble
Parashat Korach

Dena Weiss

This week’s parashah opens with Korah’s fundamental challenge to the authority of Moshe and Aharon. Korah’s claim is that Moshe and Aharon are monopolizing the available leadership roles in a way that is not justified.  All of the people are holy and worthy of serving God, yet Moshe and Aharon are in the positions that are most prominent and most proximate to God.  Moshe demonstrates that he and Aharon are both suited to their roles and chosen by God, and his response highlights what it is about his character that makes him so deserving.  Moshe’s reaction teaches us what it means to truly serve God with wisdom and humility, whatever your role is and whatever your talents may be.
