בס”ד

In the Torah, we read about Korach.

Korach did something wrong.
He stood against Moses.

At first, Korach’s sons followed him.

But then they stopped and thought.

In their hearts they said,
“This is not right. We want to listen to Hashem.”

Hashem saw their good thought.
So He saved them.

It is a little like a child who gets angry.

He wants to push another child.
But just before he does, he thinks,
“No. That is not the right thing to do.”

He chooses to be kind instead.

Hashem is happy when we choose what is good.

Later, something wonderful happened.

From Korach’s family came the prophet Samuel.

This teaches us that one good choice can change everything.

The same is true for Jewish people and for Noahides.

Every day we can choose to come closer to Hashem.

A good thought can be the start of a beautiful new beginning.
