Korach—A Window Of Opportunity
Korach – A window of opportunity “…kee kol haweyda kulam kedoshim”
“…because the entire community is holy.”
O nce when Rav Chaim Kanievski was with the Chazon Ish in Tzfas,
they met an older resident who had known the Ridvaz, who was
the Rov in Tzfas. The Chazon Ish asked him to recount an incident that he
had personally witnessed involving the Ridvaz. The man thought for a few
moments and began to speak:
“I remember that it was Shabbos Shuva and the shul where the Ridvaz was
going to deliver his drosha was filled to capacity. The Ridvaz arrived late
wearing his talis. He realized that he would have to disturb many people in
order to get to the front of the shul. What did he do? He did not enter the
shul but walked around the back until he came to a place where there was
a window that was directly behind the aron kodesh. He clambered up and
managed to squeeze himself through a small window in the wall. This he
did in order not to disturb holy Jews! Then he suddenly appeared like
magic in the front of the shul ready to give the drosho!
Good Shabbos
