Datan and Abiram

Soon, we will read about Datan and Abiram, how the earth opened its mouth because of them. Who are they, Datan and Abiram? Abir-am means the Abir of them, while Datan is the Abir HaDati (the religious) of them. What is the meaning of "the Abir"? They are those who lead, the political elite, the great rabbis, that in fact have a pact between them. See, these are Datan and Aviram, in our days.

The great rabbis represent the non-real religion, which cannot answer to questions and difficulties, of Science, and also of Biblical criticism. The political elite hates religion, because of all this, and more, and the rabbis hate the Chiloni elite. However, the pact between them nevertheless exists. Because both camps tell us, with one mouth, though with two voices, how good the Galut is, and how good it is to stay in the Galut. The pact will not last in the end, and the end has come.

We are different and do not agree. We are beloved of HaShem, we adore the Torah, and Science, greatly honor Biblical criticism, and run towards the Geula.

Soon, we will read about the disaster that happened in the Desert. As is written, "And a great multitude of Israel died." That is the death of those who do not consider the truth, but rather what they say in the world. That is the death of those who consider not the truth, but rather what they are being told by rabbis. In short, this the final death of Datan and Abiram, this is the end of their influence. The survivors act according to the truth.
