Parshah
Below you can choose to read something nice on the weekly parsha, or on any parsha you wish. Perhaps you want to read some kollel jokes or peruse some of the latest events that have been happening in connection with the kollel.
If you want to copy and print or link to anything here on the site, publish it in your own website, whatever; feel free. I would like that you link back to here and attribute stuff to us, that's all.
I hope you enjoy the parshah ideas - these were the Shabbos table talk in our home, and the ideas came from all present, young and old. These are only suggestions and discussion headings; add your own to them and send them back to us! Usually I will ask a question and the children respond. Sometimes I also have ideas on the subject. We hope that the issues raised will bring out thoughts of your own. Anyhow, enjoy them and respond to them!
Last but not least, you may wish to sign up to the mailing list here on the upper right. This way you can be sure to get something nice on the parsha each week, and be the first to hear of anything exciting!
I recommend you do so!Catagories

Thank You, Korach!
We owe an everlasting debt of gratitude to Korach. Were it not for him, people would say that Moshe fooled the Jews. No one was able to doubt or stand up to him. (Goodness knows that even after the Korach … Continue reading →
Eaten By Earth
Why was Korach punished by the ground swallowing him? Couldn’t Hashem have stuck him down with lightning? Couldn’t be changed to a block of stone – Why specifically this form of death? One suggestion was that just as Korach opened … Continue reading →
Making An Impression
Korach spent the night rousing up the Jews to revolt against Moshe. The Baal HaTurim explains that the Torah uses the same language as when Moshe gathered the Jews for Aharon’s appointment and investment. What’s the connection? Korach wanted to … Continue reading →
Is That All We Are Fighting Over?
“…V’lo tih’ye k’korach u’ki’adaso” – “…and there may not be as Korach and his assemblage”. What does this refer to? Some Rishonim understand this to be a prohibition against keeping fights going. R’ Moshe Aharon Stern z”l explained (in the … Continue reading →
To Really Count
What did Korech already have? “Hashem has set you apart to stand in His service, and in the community’s service. He has drawn you close to Him, and you need Kehunah too!?” This is an awesome statement; It means that … Continue reading →
Why Korach Was Unhappy?
Korech’s Ultimate issue was what Moshe underlined; “Do you think it small that Hashem has set you apart to stand in His service, and in the community’s service. He has drawn you close to Him, and you need Kehunah too!?” … Continue reading →
Why More?
Curiously enough, a Levi receives more produce than any other Jew. Someone with a field passes on one tenth to the Levi, meaning that eleven tribes tithe one tenth to the Levi. If each produces one hundred units, and gives … Continue reading →
