The winner of this week’s Question of the Week is Tamar Cohen!

We had asked:
Korach’s claim does not seem so crazy. He basically argued: “All the people in the community are holy, and G-d is with them. Why are you setting yourselves above G-d’s congregation?” (Bamidbar 16:3) Why do we need a hierarchy of Jewish Leadership? We are all created in God’s image! If so, what was Korach’s mistake? How are we to relate to his message of complete equality within the Jewish community?

Tamar Cohen’s answer was drawn out of a “Hat” from all the answers by a computer program named “The Hat”. She will now receive, by email, a 20$ gift certificate for FREE Kosher Chocolate!

The next question and prize will be announced on Sunday!

The latest Question of the Week will always be directly accessible here .

Every week, I will be posting a question which I will call “Question of the week”. Sometimes, it will be linked to the weekly parasha. Other times to holidays coming up. Other times just not connected to anything specific to that week.

STARTING NEXT WEEK: We will be offering real prizes to one lucky winner, every week ,through a raffle of all the names of the people who posted an answer! Click here for more information!

Some questions will have been answered already by some mefarshim. Others will be new questions. The goal is to re-discuss those issues from our own perspective, with the help of the mefarshim and with a completely orthodox understanding, but through our own contemporary eyes. Hopefully, this will lead to some dynamic learning. I encourage everyone to participate, give their answer, and discuss other people’s answers!

This week’s question of the week:

The Meraglim were some of the greatest leaders in Jewish History. Some people even like insulting fellow jews by saying they are “just like the meraglim” - however, its hardly an insult. These people were the top of the leadership of the Jewish People.

If this is the case, how is it possible that such great leaders make such a fundamental sin and refuse to enter the land of Israel (and speak lashon hara on it)? What happened to them?
