Korach, Pride, and the Power of Belonging

In this Pride Month teaching, Rabbi Josh Fixler and Cantor Rollin Simmons revisit the rebellion of Korach to explore what happens when voices are silenced and belonging is denied. Drawing connections between the Torah’s challenge to authority and today’s struggles for LGBTQ+ dignity and inclusion, they ask how Jewish communities can honor holy dissent, expand compassion, and create space for every soul to stand proudly at Sinai. Listeners are invited to reflect on allyship, spiritual courage, and the sacred responsibility to lift up those on the margins of our camp.​
