This parsha's story is an object lesson in how womenof valour acted in the desert.
Rabbi Chaim Richman
Rabbi Chaim Richman is the Director of the International Department of The Temple Institute in Jerusalem.In praise of women:
They avoided the sin of the golden calf; they did not participate in the badmouthing of the land of Israel.
And in parashat Korach, we learn how the wife of On ben Pelet prevented her husband from taking part in the rebellion of Korach and helped him to repent of his original intentions.
Stand by your man?
Stand by your woman!
