"And why do you lord over G-d's congregation?" (Numbers 16:3)
These are the words used by Korach and his followers to de-legitimize Moses' rule over the Israelites in the desert. In modern terms, they said the following:
"Look at us. We are rich, good-looking and enlightened. Not primitive like the old leadership. We represent the people, we do not show favoritism, are not guilty of patronage and do not appoint our brothers to the priesthood. On the contrary! We fight corruption. We judge everything objectively - the true test of an enlightened person. "
The ground has not opened up and swallowed our present day political Korachs, but reality is doing the job instead. The Nation of Israel looks on in disgust at the 'enlightened elite' that controls it. Israel's public has lost the last remnants of faith that it had in the Korach spin.
All the while, Manhigut Yehudit is slowly but surely holding out hope to this battered nation. With G-d's help, the entire faith-based public will soon connect to the rest of the national camp through its leadership tool - the Likud. This is the only realistic chance that we have to restore the authentic Jewish leadership that Israel so urgently needs and deserves.
