"And what did Korach see to challenge Moshe? He was jealous of the leadership position given to Elitzafan, son of Uzziel (Tanchuma), whom Moshe appointed as the chief over the sons of Kohath according to God's command. Korach said, 'My father's brother, Amram, had four sons. As it is stated (Exodus 6:18), 'And the sons of Kohath...Amram,' the eldest son, received the greatness of being a king, and the second son became the high priest. Who is worthy to take the second position? Not I. For I am from the family of Itzhar, who is second to Amram and is already appointed as a prince over his younger brother. I challenge him and nullify his words.' What did Korach do? He gathered 250 heads of the Sanhedrin, the majority of whom were from the tribe of Reuven, including Elitzur, son of Shedeur, and his associates, similar to him. As it is said (Numbers 16:2), '...the leaders of the congregation, those called to the meeting...' (Rashi on Numbers 16)."

Monday, 14th of Tammuz, 5783 - Korach was an upright and pure olive before he became jealous of Elitzafan.
These are the words of His holiness:
All of Hannah's prayers were in the aspect of "He will give strength to His king and exalt the horn of His anointed" (1 Samuel 2:10), referring to the coming of the Mashiach, son of David, for Hannah lit the menorah.

When we say, "For the conductor, with instrumental music, a psalm, a song" (Psalm 67), we light the menorah anew every day. "For the conductor, with instrumental music" corresponds to the menorah, which consists of exactly 49 words, precisely 7 branches, corresponding to the menorah. Therefore, one must always say "For the conductor, with instrumental music" seven times, even during the counting of the Omer. During the counting of the Omer, we even light the menorah more, for we count the days until the speedy rebuilding of the Holy Temple in our days.
Through the counting of the Omer, we are actually building the Temple itself. If we say it seven times, it corresponds exactly to the 49 days of the counting. Throughout the 49 days, we light the menorah, as it is written, "And I said to him, 'What do you see?' And I said, 'I see, and behold, a menorah, all of it gold, with a bowl on top of it, and its seven lamps on it, seven pipes for the lamps that are on top of it'" (Zechariah 4:2). Another seven, and another seven, and another seven, and another seven, together make 343, as it is written, "But also himself is flesh" (Genesis 6:3) - "But also himself" - Shin, Mem, Gimel, which is 343.
Shin represents the 343 channels through which abundance flows to the menorah from the oil. "With a bowl on top of it" - what does it mean, "with a bowl on top of it"? "Bowl on top of it" means "Gullah Gullah" - the upper bowl, the lower bowl, the springs, the influences - the source of olive oil, of Yitzhar.
Korach was called Yitzhar, and he was a pure olive oil, but he could not withstand his jealousy of Elitzafan (after the death of Aaron's two sons, Nadav and Avihu, Elitzafan, along with his brother Mishael, was appointed to remove their bodies from the Tabernacle. Elitzafan was the cousin of Moses, Aaron, and Korach. The Midrash Tanchuma describes how Elitzafan's appointment as the leader of the Kohathite clan was the impetus for Korach and his followers to rebel). He lost his mind because of Elitzafan.

Korach and Elitzafan were still together in the children's garden when suddenly Elitzafan became the chief of the Kohathite clan. Each family had its own chief. Not only did each clan have a chief, but each family as well. "The leader of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest" (Numbers 3:32). Itamar was only the chief of the priesthood, and his role was to assign the duties, but Eleazar son of Aaron the priest was the chief of both Levite clans.
Now, who was Elitzafan? Who caused all the commotion?
(All the words of our revered teacher, may he live long and prosper, are based on the commentary of Rashi on the verse in Numbers 16.)

"What did Korach see to challenge Moshe?" Why did Korach, who was considered wise, suddenly oppose Moshe? What did Moshe do to him?
"Korah was jealous of Elitzafan's leadership" (ibid). He said, "We were together in the children's garden, and suddenly Elitzafan becomes a leader. Why did he become a leader? What did he do?"
"Moshe appointed him as a leader over the sons of Kohath by divine command. Korah said, 'Here we see that Moshe is a liar, it's all favoritism, it's all about who you know. There is no equality - there is no legitimate leadership.'

Everyone wants equality? Let them study one hour of Gemara. We'll see if they still want equality. Let's test them with the rest of the Gemara. It's easier for a person to serve 100 years in the army than to study one hour of Gemara. Let's see them study for one hour, open up the Gemara, open up the Midrash.

Moshe appointed Elitzafan according to divine command. Korah said, "My father's brother had four sons. Amram, the eldest, one became a king, and one became a high priest. Korah said, 'Moshe is snatching all the positions, but who is deserving to take the second position? Not me, who is from the family of Yitzhar, the pure olive oil.' 'And it shall be poured on her head' refers to Yitzhar, the pure olive oil, who is the second to Amram. But Moshe appointed as the leader the youngest of all, Elitzafan. I challenge him and invalidate his words."
What did Korah do? He stood up and gathered the heads of the Sanhedrin, most of whom were from the tribe of Reuven, his neighbors. But Moshe appointed based on divine command. All the prayers and the dedication of the menorah, it's only Hannah's privilege. "And He will give strength to His king and exalt the horn of His anointed" (1 Samuel 2:10). The whole idea of our prayers is that the Mashiach will come today.
We believe that the Mashiach will come today and the complete redemption will happen swiftly in our days.
Amen.
