56) SPIRITUALITY MUST ALWAYS BE NORMATIVE:


The Kotzker Rebbe suggested that the reason why Korach and his rebellion against Moshe was misguided, was simply because Korach was a fanatic.

He asked Moshe whether a house filled with holy books required something as insignificant as a Mezuzah.

The Kotzker explained; “A ‘house filled with books’ represents the concept of spiritual overreaching. No matter how many books a house has it always needs a small Mezuzah, to remind us that spirituality is a slow, natural and incremental process.”[1]
