Rav Alex:
Sharing my Parsha Discussion for this week.
When Korach accused Moshe of being corrupt.
Why is incorruptible leadership so important?

Brendan Stern:
Lessening the Blow
Two of the prominent evildoers leading the revolt against Moshe (along with Korach) were Datan and Aviram – serial troublemakers who made Moshe’s life miserable on many occasions. They told on him when he killed the Egyptian. They challenged him after Pharaoh made the Jews work harder. They tested Moshe’s warning not to leave over the Manna until the following day.
If they were so evil, how did they survive the plague of darkness? Rashi (Shemot 10:22) says that many Jews who were either not worthy of being redeemed or did not want to leave Egypt died during the plague of darkness. Why didn’t they die along with the other bad Jews of the time?
The Torah tells of Jewish supervisors who were beaten for not coercing the Jewish slaves to meet the stipulated quota of bricks (Shemot 5:14). According to the Midrash, these were none other than Datan and Aviram. Maharil Diskin explains that despite all their sins, Datan and Aviram were spared during the plague of darkness because they were willing to take a hit on behalf of the Jewish people. The beatings they endured in order to protect their fellow Jews from cruel and sadistic quotas overshadowed all of their other offenses and indiscretions.
The Maharil Diskin adds that this merit, significant as it was, did not suffice to save them from punishment for their role in Korach’s revolt against Moshe. The sin of machloket is so severe that it could not be offset by their great merit of compassion in Egypt. Hashem was prepared to tolerate their wrongdoings in the merit of the compassion they had earlier showed to their fellow Jews, but He would not tolerate their efforts to stir fighting and dissent among His children.
Such is the importance of staying out of machloket!
