Deciphering the Secret of the Copper Snake
Join us for an intriguing Torah study shiur as we explore the mysterious incident of the copper snake. It's puzzling to witness another revolt against Hashem and Moshe, especially after seeing the consequences of previous discord and Lashon Hara in the past weeks. How did they not learn from the fate of the spies and Korach's rebellion? This generation, as the Zohar mentions, was the greatest of all, with none to match their level until after the redemption and their revival. This makes their actions even more perplexing.
Why was their punishment different this time? Instead of being swallowed by the earth like Korach and his followers, they were attacked by poisonous snakes. Is there no standard for the punishment of Lashon Hara? What deeper lesson or symbolism lies in the choice of snakes as the means of retribution?
Join us to uncover the profound messages behind these events and understand why the copper snake was used as a remedy, leading to healing and reflection. Discover the spiritual and moral implications of this story and its relevance to our lives today.
