Korach and Soros

Shavua Tov. It struck me how there are similarities between Korach and George Soros. The תורה תמימה explains that ויקח קרח, meant that Korach made a bad purchase. He spent his great wealth to bribe people to join his cause. He gave them food and drink and won over the 250 men to protest against Moshe. He also solicited Fake News to try to make Moshe Rabbeinu look bad. Because Moshe pitched his tent outside of the camp, he was accused by his detractors of being guilty of being with married women. It seems that it’s not that difficult to create a movement under the guise that it’s for a noble cause to right a wrong. Sometimes people are so gullible that they can be drawn into foolishness. The episode of Korach was meant for all times, to warn people to take great care when joining a cause. They must be clear that the cause is purely לשם שמים. If it creates divisiveness, it cannot be for the sake of Heaven, we must not get involved. This is the lesson of Korach.
