CLD #620

For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham bn Ester ZT’L and Haviva bat Yocheved Z’L.

There are four places in the Tanach where four major people say the word “Ach” This word in the beginning of the Pasuk/phrase signifies a lack of something. The four people were: Korah, (the) Nachash, (the) Ofeh and Haman. Haman said that all the riches and wealth he had was not worth anything if Mordechai continued to act the way he did. Korah said the same thing in the Parasha we read today regarding what he lacked (the Kehuna, priesthood).

What is the center of Korah and the 250 people behind him and their problem? Ga’ava, Romemut, Srarah, etc. Arrogance, Pride, leadership WITHOUT Hashem’s control and power. Meaning, a life without knowing that Hashem is the one in control is no life at all. As we saw with Haman (in a CLD before Purim this year), he had millions upon millions of rubies, diamonds and jewels and it was not worth it.

This shows us we all need to be happy with what we have, because as it says in Prikei Avot Ezeku Ashir, HaSameah BeHelko Who is the wealthy one? The one who is happy with his lot. Be’ezrat Hashem we should have the energy to continue living with Hashem and on the path of the Torah Hakdosha, which shows us we AGREE with what Hashem puts in our bank account and we do not complain.

 

We mentioned four people on top of the CLD tonight because their names spell out the word Kinah, which means jealousy. Korach = Kof, Nahash  = Nun, the Snake from Adam and Hava, the Ofeh = Alef, the Baker from Yosef’s jailtime and Haman = Hei. This shows us one who is jealous does not trust Hashem fully that everything is from Him.

SHAVUA TOV!
