Parshah for the Anxious: You Will Not Drown

There is a song in Yiddish, Fort a Yidele in a Shiffele, that describes a desperate situation and the limited options available:

• A Jew sails on a little boat, The boat breaks and he is drowning, He cries: "Tatenyu! (Dear Father!) Save me! Save me!" "I cannot help you. I cannot help you."
• A Jew sails on a little boat, The boat breaks and he is drowning, He cries: "Mamenyu! (Dear Mother!) Save me! Save me!” "I cannot help you. I cannot help you."
• A Jew sails on a little boat, The boat breaks and he is sinking, He cries: "Rebenyu! (Dear Rebbe!) Save me! Save me!" "You will not drown! You will not drown!"

What is the song’s message, and what does it have to do with this week's Torah portion, Korach?

The song highlights one of the roles of a Rebbe: showing a person that they can, even when they themselves have given up.
