Why does the Mishna describe the dispute as "Korach and his Congregation" rather than "Korach and Moshe"?
Rav Shlomo Katz explores the anatomy of a fake argument versus a holy disagreement. Drawing on the Noam Elimelech and the Malbim, we uncover the dirty secret of Korach's rebellion: there was absolutely no unity within his own camp.
We learn that while Hillel and Shammai loved each other despite their differences, Korach, Datan, Aviram, and the 250 princes all had different, selfish agendas, united only by a common hatred of Moshe.
This episode is a crucial guide to spotting "Red-Green Alliances"—political or social movements that seem unified but are actually fractured by self-interest and hate.
