Korach (parsha)

Korach (parsha)

Korach or Korah (קֹרַח — Hebrew for the name "Korah,” which in turn means “baldness, ice, hail, or frost,” the second word, and the first distinctive word, in the parshah) is the 38th weekly Torah portion (parshah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the fifth in the book of Numbers. It constitutes Numbers 16:1–18:32. Jews in the Diaspora generally read it in June or early July.
