Parsha:

Korach 

Description

...So too any role of leadership and responsibility. If leading was easy, anyone could do it. Leadership always entails confronting challenges and conflicts. Moshe certainly knew this only too well. Moshe, a great leader, was not dismayed by the challenge posed by these men. He did not underestimate the fear, stress and interpersonal dynamics that roiled the Children of Israel. He did not minimize what they had been through, both the glorious and the frightening. Ultimately, the one who seeks power for power's ake betrays that. Moshe is indeed a king, but we never refer to him as such. He is "Rabeinu", our greatest of teachers.
