Episode Synopsis
Pernicious Pitfalls - Our פרשה is generally taken as a relatively simple description of מחלקת and politicking; in reality it turns out the issue is much more subtle and complex and touches on some of the most primal issues of מעשה בראשית.
The real question is the nature of identity which remarkably revolves directly around מחלקת – that מחלקת's source is הבדלת מעשה בראשית itself! In that הבדלה we have a place for נבראים in which הקב"ה is כביכול "out of the picture". Ot turns out this issue of שם as we discussed last week is the אנשי השם here, the פלגאה of קרח is דור הפלגה נעשה לנו שם the thing that allows him to make the mistake is the fact that ושמואל בקראי שמו כנגד משה ואהרון – so that understanding the nature of identity is one of the most dangerous pernicious subtle issues that exists in human life: it is the reason he makes the mistake, that לא טוב was said in מעשה בראשיתthe reason this complex situation has been repeated thrice (רבינו בחיי) from דור הפלגה לסדום until this minute בפרשת קרח and has to be dealt with on the level of the nature of the original place for אדם which opens the door to מינות: אדם הראשון goes right back to תכלת of which previous פרשה ended and our פרשה begins(*רש"י) which on the simplest level is the source of the מחלקת and when we come to understand it is part of the questions of the nature of identity
The most imperative issue in human life –the final question that the מחנה must address which is why the entire structure of the מחנה is built around the questions that are raised by קרח in his ultimate achievement: כהונה ולוי becoming settled לדורי דורות, that רמב"ם כל באי עולם can make themselves part of that הבדלה if they engage in it מדעתם להבדל therefore we need to look in this פרשה the nature of human identity מחלקת at the time of מעשה בראשית to the issues of מינות which itself involves מחלקת קיצוץ בנטיעות separating עץ מפרי touching on the most dangerous of things so dangerous that רבינו בחיי when talking about it is מתפלל that we should be saved from it – let us join his prayer!
