Korach

The uniqueness of the “earthquake” in the times of Moshe that absorbed Korach was not much of an earthquake.

We read of Moses’ despair, of Aaron and Miriam’s criticism of him, of the spies who lacked the courage to come back with a positive report, and of the malcontents, led by Korach, who challenged Moses’ leadership.

As the Ramban explains, it is no accident that the Korach rebellion happened in the aftermath of the story of the spies.

Korach and Cotroneo knew each other from the minor leagues before working together in Oakland.

He is called ON from the word, “Aninut”, which means mourning, or “Onein”, a mourner, because he did not cease from mourning for having sided with Korach.

Levtzion-Korach is the first woman to run a state-owned general hospital in Israel.
