Short Vort

Besides for Korach & all his followers being swallowed up, HASHEM destroyed all of Korach's possessions. Question is why? Plus Korach's children did Teshuva so why couldn't they keep his money? Answer is - Chazal tell us that whatever "tools" we use in life to help us, that is what will make us become who we are. "Kosher" tools make us better & vise versa. The Gemora tells us that Reb Chiya HIMSELF wrote up Sifrei Torahs to teach children in order that the Torah should stay with these children, because Torah/Seforim that somebody learns from, that was created from unpure people/resources will NOT stay with that person. Korach's money was IMPURE, because he went against Hashem & Moshe.So Hashem punished him by not allowing any of his money to be used for anything holy & pure, like Torah/Seforim. How careful must we be, to make sure we don't get "punished" by HASHEM & the money/possessions we have, Hashem SHOULD ALLOW to be used to build Torah & Kedusha. Because if we make our money "unpure" Hashem will swallow it away from us.
