*Parshas Korach 5785*

*וַיִּקַּ֣ח קֹ֔רַח בֶּן־יִצְהָ֥ר בֶּן־קְהָ֖ת בֶּן־לֵוִ֑י וְדָתָ֨ן וַאֲבִירָ֜ם בְּנֵ֧י אֱלִיאָ֛ב וְא֥וֹן בֶּן־פֶּ֖לֶת בְּנֵ֥י רְאוּבֵֽן׃ *

_Now Korah, son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, betook himself, along with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—descendants of Reuben._

We apologize that we don't have a new episode for this week's parsha. Due to some logistical difficulties this week we weren't able to record an episode. So I was just going to send out this apology and a link to last year's episode. But then I thought last minute to share at least an idea something to think about over Shabbos. Obviously, this will be missing the secret sauce of the One Pasuk Podcast, the rabbinic banter as I like to call it that I enjoy so much with Rabbi Goldberg and Rabbi Kuessous. God willing next week we will be back in action.

וְשָׁם רָאִינוּ אֶת־הַנְּפִילִים בְּנֵי עֲנָק מִן־הַנְּפִלִים וַנְּהִי בְעֵינֵינוּ כַּחֲגָבִים וְכֵן הָיִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶם׃

_we saw the Nephilim there—the Anakites are part of the Nephilim—and we looked like grasshoppers to ourselves, and so we must have looked to them.”_

וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה לְחֹבָב בֶּן־רְעוּאֵל הַמִּדְיָנִי חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה נֹסְעִים  אֲנַחְנוּ אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר ה' אֹתוֹ אֶתֵּן לָכֶם לְכָה אִתָּנוּ וְהֵטַבְנוּ לָךְ כִּי ה' דִּבֶּר־טוֹב עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃

_Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, “We are setting out for the place of which Hashem has said, ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will be generous with you; for Hashem has promised to be generous to Israel.”_

*Special Episode* Shavuot 5785

This week’s episode of the One Pasuk Podcast is generously sponsored by Erica & Robert Klein, my mother and father in law in commemoration of the yahrzeit of their precious granddaughter, Chana Tova, daughter of Rabbi Chaim and Shoshana Poupko. She was a bright shining burst of light, who taught us all that the quality of our time on this earth is not dependent upon its length. Her spirit, smile, and courage will always be remembered by us. We pray that Hashem continue to watch over her Neshama.

Megilat Rut

וַתֹּאמֶר רוּת אַל־תִּפְגְּעִי־בִי לְעׇזְבֵךְ לָשׁוּב מֵאַחֲרָיִךְ כִּי אֶל־אֲשֶׁר תֵּלְכִי אֵלֵךְ וּבַאֲשֶׁר תָּלִינִי אָלִין עַמֵּךְ עַמִּי וֵאלֹהַיִךְ אֱלֹהָי׃

But Ruth replied, “Do not urge me to leave you, to turn back and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God.

The week's episode of the One Pasuk Podcast is generously sponsored by Phyllis and Marrick Kukin commemorating the yahrzeits of their parents occuring during this season:

• Doris Kukin, Dvorah bat Moshe and Rachel on the 15th of Nissan
• Dr. Ira Kukin, Avraham Yitzhak ben Zev HaKohain and Chaya on the 22nd of Iyar
• Cantor Charles Gelman, Yehezkel ben Yitzhak Chaim and Fayge on the 4th of Sivan

May the souls of these remarkable people be elevated in heaven and may their powerful legacies continue to serve as a source of strength and inspiration.

לֹא־תִקֹּם וְלֹא־תִטֹּר אֶת־בְּנֵי עַמֶּךָ וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ אֲנִי ה'.

You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow [Israelite] as yourself: I am 'ה.
