GC#85 - Smooth Criminal?- Perek Shira 16 - Song of The Seas Part 2

Have you ever seen footage of the world's most notorious criminal of the last century? It's frightening how mesmeric he was as a speaker. He knew how to capture the imagination of the public - with the most horrific results.

L'havdil, we have noted how speech has such potential to destroy on the one hand, and to build on the other. Korach utilised his persuasive, smooth talking nature (note his name and the identification with smoothness), to seduce others to follow him. He gave emotive speeches, rallying cries and vicious diatribes - just when necessary. This is in stark contrast with the 'heavy-tongued' Moshe. And yes, many were perusaded to follow Korach. 

Now, don't get me wrong. It seems pretty clear from the sources that Korach was a big Tzaddik who took a wrong turn, as we have mentioned. But how did this happen? We have spoken of honour. We have spoken of machlokes. And we have spoken of intentions. Now we are going to speak of speaking.

So, in G-dcast #85 (Gematria of פה - mouth), what will we find out about the mouth of Korach, the mouth of Moshe and indeed, the mouth of the earth?
