The Fifth section of the Chumash / Book of Bamidbar / Numbers, recounts the rebellion of Korach, Moses’ first cousin and its repercussions.
Moses arose and went to Dathan and Aviram (16:25)
Dathan and Aviram had openly demonstrated their animosity towards Moses, accusing him of being a despot and an imposter. Moreover, G-d Himself had already sealed their punishment, instructing Moses only to save the other rebels from Dathan and Aviram’s impending fate. Still, Moses did not give up hope that his “enemies” would repent, doing everything in his power to influence them to reconsider.
We learn from Moses to always do whatever we can to bring our brethren back to G-d and His Torah – even when it seems that all hope is lost. This is true even when they are ignoring their faith intentionally and all the more so when they are acting out of ignorance.
With our continued prayers for the wellbeing of the IDF, the security and safety of all our brothers and sisters within all of Israel’s borders and the Jewish community across the diaspora.
Wishing you a successful week followed by a meaningful Shabbat.
