In this reading of “Korach,” HaShem speaks directly to Aaron, cautioning them to uphold the sanctity of the sanctuary and its contents. Aaron, his sons and the Levite tribe are given the burden of responsibility for maintaining the holiness of the Mishkan; this follows the failed rebellion led by Korach, Moses and Aaron’s first cousin, who conspired with the tribe of Reuben to rise up against HaShem’s chosen leaders. HaShem institutes for all time the Levites’ tithes and assures them that they are safe from guilt if they follow the instructions of the Torah.
All Beit HaLev services use special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available for sale at in-person services.
