This year Parashat Korach is read the week of Tammuz 5 5783 or June 24 2023. The parasha takes place from Num 16:1-18: 32. The haftarah is from 1 Samuel 11:14 to 12:22. The overview is that Shmuel who is descended from Korah brings Am Israel together for the coronation of Shaul over Israel as King. There are the Hebrew connections that the Chazal found, the Sages linked the Torah parshiyot to the prophets readings. The connection to the prophets portion in first Shmuel connects to the rebels Dathan and Aviram who were arrogant to Moshe and insulted him. It is almost the same verbiage we see in 1 Samuael 12:3 where Shmuel is faced with being rejected by the people as their leader when they plead for a King. Now Moshe and Shmuel are connected in early Bible tradition. We will see how and where in the Tanakh. Moshe and Shmuel are ultimate examples of Tzaddikim and Judges who are beyond reproach.
