Just a quick thing on the parsha...I don’t remember where I learned it, or when or from who so I’m sorry that I cannot give credit where credit is due....
In this weeks parsha we read about how Korach was swallowed up along with all his belongings. Why did this happen to him? Did it really matter if his stuff was swallowed up along with him once he was dead?
If you drop money and a poor person benefits from it you get schar. Even though you had no intention of helping someone, you still get schar. Part of Korach’s punishment was that even once he was dead, he could not get schar from his belongings that he left behind unintentionally. Nothing that he left could benefit anyone. Seems like a pretty harsh punishment. If we can get schar for benefitting someone without realizing just imagine what we could get for doing mitzvot with great intentions!
Good Shabbos!
p.s. thank you to everyone who posted this week they were unbelievable!!!!
