Korach 5785: Ambition and Rebellion
39 min•22 juni 2025
What was Korach really fighting for?
In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Raphael Polisuk explore Parshat Korach. They revisit Korach’s rebellion not just as a political protest, but as a sincere—and dangerous—desire for closeness to God. Drawing connections to Nadav and Avihu, incense offerings, and divine fire, the episode challenges listeners to consider whether spiritual closeness is always a blessing—or sometimes too powerful to survive.

Rabbi Raphael Polisuk – Pardes Faculty
Zvi Hirschfield – Pardes Faculty and Host of Pardes from Jerusalem
