Tefillah - Korach - Isolating Evil Within A Community...With Humility
by Hauer, Rabbi Moshe
Moshe davens an unusual tefilah to Hashem, asking that He should not accept the offerings of Korach and his men. Korach was trying to undermine belief in Moshe as the unique prophet of Hashem, and in doing so was breaking down the sense of oneness in the community. Moshe, as the most humble of all men, could say such a tefilah with pure motivation in order to maintain the unity of
Klal Yisroel
. The bracha of
v'lamalshinim
that was added into our davening also asks Hashem to remove the slanderes and heretics from among us, and was composed by Shmuel Hakatan, who was humble just like Moshe.
