Parashat Korach
Upper left is a split-group earthquake scene. Upper middle is a fire. If one were to ask, how did Korach and his gang meet their end, getting swallowed by the Earth would be only partially correct. The 250 incense offerers were killed by fire. This is an example of how you can use ParshaPix at your Shabbat table with childrenand guests. Upper right is a guard at his post; this refers to the obligation of the Levi'im to do guard duty. The 5 coins are for Pidyon HaBen. Obvious, but still something to ask youngsters about and start a conver sation about the mitzvot relating to babies - or something like that. The center graphic stands for the barren staffs of the tribes and the flowering staff of Aharon-Levi. Lower center is a gift, representing the gifts of the kohen and Levi which are enumerated in the sedra. Lower left is an example. It stands for the tenth part of the tenth part that the Levi must give to a kohen from the Maaser he receives. Which brings us to the lower right and a lamb in a baby carriage, from which the topic of B'chor B'heima can be launched. This has been sort of a study guide to ParshaPix, as well as a column of explanations. [The ParshaPix Index][The Korach Homepage] |
