## Resource

Rabbi Ephraim Pelcovits' Shabbat Teaching at Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, June 13, 2026, introduced by Rabbi Rebecca Schatz. In this session, we'll explore Korach's challenge to the leadership of Moses and Aaron, examine what some classical commentators understood to be the flaws in his rebellion, and ask what this biblical story might teach us about dissent, protest, and freedom of assembly in a democratic society. (Zoom/Youtube) Special Guest: Rabbi Ephraim Pelcovits. Links: Study Text
