RABBI WEIN ON KORACH 5777

It is always astounding to see and realize how ego, turf and ambition can blind even great people who are otherwise wise and even pious personalities.

In fact, religious society is more susceptible to these ills simply because character failings can be wrapped in piety with the excuse that one is doing God’s will.
