This week’s Torah portion is Korach (Bamidbar 16:1-18:32), which is the name of the evil and rebellious leader who tried to overthrow Moses. Korach and his deputies, Dathan, Aviram, and On (who have previously shown their talents at troublemaking), gathered two hundred and fifty men to protest Moses’ leadership. Yes, a Torah portion focused on rebellion.
