HE BLEW IT WITH THE BLUES

One of the most curious Midrashim on Parshat Korach has Korach asking Moses whether a tallit that is totally blue needs to have tzitzit.

Rabbi Dunner goes through a fascinating piece by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov to explain the psychology behind Korach’s intriguing question, in which it becomes clear that there was much more to it than meets the eye.

Rabbi Dunner also cites a profound piece in the Mei Hashiloach commentary that sheds a very different light on the dispute between Korach and Moshe.
