5774 — Korach: Moses the Prophet

Posted by Neima Novetsky on June 19, 2014
Topics: Pardes from Jerusalem, Korach, Moshe

Neima Novetsky discusses parsha Korach. Is a navi purely a mouth piece of Hashem, with no freedom to act of his own accord or does he have the ability to punish and reward, and even bring miracles at will? This issue comes to the fore in this week’s parshah as Moshe promises miraculous punishment, apparently without Divine guidance.
