At the end of every parsha in the standard Chumash, you’ll find the amount of pesukim and a gematria siman.
There are 95 pesukim in Korach.
If you tuned into this week’s shiurim, you’ll understand.
What’s the significance of Daniel being gematria 95?

Accepting Loshon Hora is worse than saying it.
The Meraglim said LH and instantly died a grisly death as their punishment.
Klal Yisroel was mekabel the LH and died peaceful deaths at the age of sixty years old.
Seems like the Meraglim are considered worse than those who accepted their LH.
Why?
Shabbos Shalom
Great News!
An old talmid of mine, Binyomin Bass, has created a series of Chofetz Chaim cartoons.
The timing is perfect!
Enjoy
Junior Kohanim
Here in Israel, kids don’t do Birchas Kohanim before their Bar-Mitzva.
Not even a day before.
Gedolei olam maintain that is the correct practice worldlwide too.
Why is there no chinuch period for Birchas Kohanim?
Shabbos Shalom
We’ve reached the bottom of the pile of Letters from Rav Chaim.
Now we launch a new micro video series…
Six Pack
The word צדיק appears exactly six times in the Chumash.
First appearing in the sixth perek of Beraishis.
Tzaddik (yesod) is the sixth of the seven lower sefiros.
Tzaddikim prefer the sixth aliyah.
Etc
Funny, the goyim associate multiple sixes with evil…
What connects tzaddik with six?
Shabbos Shalom
The Shabbos After
Rabbi Shimon taught Torah on the move.
Why was his final teaching delivered at home?
Shabbos Shalom
