Parshas Korach: Rav Elyashiv – Korach Connects With The Masses
The Medrash tells us that there were three Nevi’im in the time leading up to the Churban HaBayis, Yirmiya who spoke in the marketplace, Tzefania who spoke in Shuls, and Chulda who spoke to the women.
Why did they need three Nevi’im? Rav Elyashiv explains that if they would have invited everyone to come hear the nevuah they’d be standing there without an audience. The Nevi’im needed to go out to the people and each one had their own target venue.
“Yet, on the other hand,” points out Rav Elyashiv, “when Korach spoke, ‘Yayakhel Aleihem Korach Es Kol HaEidah; Korach snapped his fingers and they all came running: men women, and children.”
The sad testament here is that when it comes to hearing the Dvar Hashem no one will come. The message needs to be taken to the people, each one with their own twist. Yet, when it comes to bashing Torah, one size fits all, and the crowds you can amass without going anywhere are standing room only.
