Parashat Korach
Korach, Datan and Aviram, together with 250 renowned people,
started a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. But mainly against Aaron.
Their claim was, who said you have been chosen? Who said you are
the right ones?
Hashem became furious against the people and, a couple of
times, wanted to destroy the whole people and start a new nation with
only Moses and Aaron and their families.
We know that Moses and Aaron were able to "calm down"
Hashem. At some point Hashem started a plague that killed the rebels, and guess
who is the one who stopped the plague? Right!!! Aaron.
He didn't want to see his people dying. The text tells us that he
runs to save his people.
Aaron teaches us with his act that no matter how harsh people are,
how badly they act against us, there is always room for love and compassion.
