Today for This Week in Pictures, we’re honored to share some photos captured by Rabbi Danny Wolfe who is currently in Israel as part of a special Birthright Israel program. We’ll have many more photos to share upon his return, but for now, here are a few quick photos from Rabbi Wolfe’s current trip to Israel. Be sure to check out the video as well, featuring some inspirational thoughts from Rabbi Wolfe last week when he arrived in Israel.
The upheaval that Korach caused went far beyond his actual claims against Moshe. His dispute centered upon the seat of power in the nation. He contested Moshe’s authority, Ahron’s appointment as the Kohen Gadol and of course that his cousin was selected to be the head of his particular branch of the Levites. Many prominent members of the people mistakenly supported his mutiny and their punishment was not deferre and it was swift and exacting. However, there were also secondary damages that occurred due to his insurgency.
