Dvar Torah Parshas Pinchas

 Liyluy Nishmas Elchonon Tzvi ben R'Yisroel menachem..........
In perek chaf zayin posuk gimmel the bnos Tzlafchad come to Moshe and say "Avinu mes bamidbar v'hu lo hayah bsoch ha'eidah hanoadim al Hashem ba'adas Korach ki b'cheto mes ubanim lo hayu lo" The Ramban explains that the reason why the bnos Tzlafchad didn't just say our father died in the midbar without sons,but rather they added that he wasn't part of Korachs group, was because they thought that Moshe hated Korach and his followers more than any of the other sinners that died in the midbar because they were going directly against him. They were afraid that if Moshe thought that their father was a follower of Korach he would say that Hashem should not do chesed with them and not have compassion.Therefore,they told him that their father was not a follower of Korach.The Rosh Yeshivah Ztl asks,how could the bnos Tzlafchad think
 that someone as great as Moshe Rabeinu would change and pervert the ruling of their case because he hated their father?He answers that the bnos Tzlafchad didn't think that Moshe would do it b'meizid,however,they thought that because of Moshe's hatred roward their father,hed change the ruling without realizing it. Even though Moshe probably had very little sinaah against Korach and his followers,because after all he was great,and he was a tremendous anav,and it had been forty years since the uprising,still the bnos Tzlafchad knew that deep in his heart he may have a nagea against them that will cause him to change the din.Furthermore,there were more people who died for other reasons in the midbar than for the reason of Korach,yet the bnos Tzlafchad knew,that even just having a safek that their father was a follower of Korach could have caused Moshe to accidently pervert the din. If
 Moshe Rabeinu can be mushpa from nageas,kal v'chomer us. Many times we can decide something or act in a certain way purely because of a nagea that we have,even though its the wrong thing. We have to work on ourselves to know and understand ourself and our nageas and to remove them from our heart so that we can be in control of the decisions that we make.......
.Good Shabbos!
