Parshas Pinchas: When Fire Waits Our Parsha begins with Pinchas receiving the Kehunah for a bold act others condemned. Yet G-d delays His reward. Why? The Torah separates action from affirmation to reveal a powerful truth: zealotry is only sacred when it brings peace. The Rebbe explains that even holy fire must wait until the noise clears and clarity returns.

 In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe discusses Parshas Pinchas, focusing on the story of Pinchas's zealous act against Zimri and Cosbi, who publicly defied God's will by engaging in illicit relations, as described in Numbers 25. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the danger of blurring moral lines, as Zimri attempted by bringing a Moabite woman into the Jewish community, comparing it to Rebecca's relief upon learning her conflicting womb movements were due to twins with distinct destinies, not a single confused child. He emphasizes that clarity in commitment to Torah and mitzvahs is crucial, drawing parallels to Haman's and Amalek's attempts to assimilate and confuse the Jewish people, urging listeners to avoid compromise in spiritual matters and to define their stance firmly on the side of holiness and light.Rabbi Wolbe encourages small, intentional steps toward observance without compromising core commitments, using examples like health goals to illustrate the importance of mental resolve even if actions lag. He stresses the need for wisdom to distinguish between holy and unholy, as recited in Havdalah and Talmudic prayers, to avoid confusion. A story of a newly observant Jew publicly affirming their identity as a religious Jew underscores how verbalizing commitment clarifies one's path. Rabbi Wolbe concludes by urging listeners to manifest their spiritual goals through clear identification with Torah values, fostering a deeper connection to God and a purposeful Shabbos._____________This episode (Ep 7.38) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Pinchas is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Studios (C) to an online TORCHzoom.com audience on July 16, 2025, in Passaic, New Jersey.Released as Podcast on July 18, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

What if the Torah isn't just a set of divine rules, but the actual software that runs our universe? Rabbi Aaron Lopiansky's revolutionary 8-minute discourse from 5779 (2018-2019) offers a perspective that transforms our understanding of reality itself.Starting with a famous dispute between Talmudic sages Rava and Abaye about prohibited actions, Rabbi Lopiansky reveals a profound truth: when the Torah forbids something, it's not merely establishing a moral boundary—it's defining the parameters of reality itself. Just as computer hardware functions according to its programming, our physical world operates according to the spiritual principles embedded within it. God consulted Torah before creation, designing trees because blessings needed to exist, and parents because honoring them needed to be possible.This insight changes everything about how we view transgression. When we violate Torah principles, we're not just breaking rules—we're attempting to operate outside the architecture of creation. It's like a player in Candyland moving their piece off the board entirely; such a player isn't advancing in the game but has removed themselves from it completely. Similarly, those who seek success through dishonest means aren't finding clever loopholes—they're stepping outside the fundamental structure that governs lasting achievement.The story of Tzlafchad's daughters exemplifies this principle perfectly. These women didn't merely demand land rights; they presented a coherent halachic argument that worked within the framework of Torah's reality. God affirmed their claim not by changing rules but by acknowledging their correct navigation of spiritual truth.This teaching resonates through every aspect of life, particularly in business ethics. Any gain achieved by violating Torah principles cannot endure because it lacks foundation in authentic reality. As Rabbi Lopiansky notes, "The roosters eventually come home to roost." What seems like getting ahead through cutting corners is exiting the game entirely.Next time you face ethical decisions, remember: the spiritual realm isn't less real than the physical—it's the most authentic level of reality. When we align our choices with Torah, we're not just being obedient; we're harmonizing with the deepest structures of creation itself.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

התוכן 1) ההוראה לבנות ישראל בזמננו מהסיפור בפ' פינחס אודות בנות צלפחד שממנו למדו חז"ל שאצל בנות ישראל היתה חיבת הארץ יותר מאשר אצל בני ישראל: כאשר "מפני חטאינו גלינו מארצנו" ורואים את חורבן ביהמ"ק גם בא"י – העבודה היא שתהי' תשוקה שיחזור להיות מעמד ומצב של גילוי אלקות, ענינה של א"י אשר "תמיד עיני ה' אלקיך בה מרשית השנה ועד אחרית שנה", דהיינו, לפעול בכל פרט ובכל ענין שיהי' ניכר ש"הנה ה' נצב . . ומביט וכו'". 2) כ"ק מו"ח אדמו"ר הנהיג שבזמן הקיץ נוסעים הבחורים וכמה אברכים לבקר במקומות שונים לדבר אודות עניני יהדות וכו', והרבי נשיא הדור מעורר רחמים שיצליחו גם באופן שישארו אח"כ פירות ופירי-פירות. כאשר התחלת הנסיעה היא מתוך התוועדות חסידית ומתוך המרחב של נשיא ישראל – מתנהלת הנסיעה כולה באופן של הרחבה. ולכן יאמרו הנוסעים "לחיים" ותהי' נסיעתם באופן ש"בשמחה תצאו . . ההרים והגבעות יפצחו לפניכם רינה, וכל עצי השדה ימחאו כף".ב' שיחות דהתוועדות יום א' פ' פינחס, י"ג תמוז ה'תשי"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-07-2025 Synopsis (1) Our Sages derive from the story (in Parshas Pinchas) of Tzelofchad's daughters that the Jewish women of that time had greater love for Eretz Yisroel than the men. The lesson for Jewish women in our times is that during exile, when one sees the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash, even within Eretz Yisroel itself – the task is to feel a longing to return to the state of revelation of G-dliness, which is the special quality of Eretz Yisroel, the land that “the eyes of Hashem your G-d are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.” This means that it should be visible in every aspect of her home that “ “Behold, Hashem stands… and watches” etc. (2) The Rebbe, my father-in-law, the Rebbe, instituted that during the summer months, the bochurim and young married men should travel to various places to speak about Yiddishkeit, etc., and the Rebbe, the Nasi of the generation, arouses mercy that they should succeed, and in such a way that will also leave behind fruits and fruits of fruits. When the journey begins with a chassidishe farbrengen and from within the expansiveness of the Nasi of the Jewish people Israel—the entire journey is conducted in a manner of expansiveness. Therefore, those traveling should say l'chaim, and their journey should be in the manner of “For with joy shall you go forth…the mountains and the hills shall burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap hands.2 sichos from farbrengen of Sunday, parashas Pinchas, 13 Tammuz 5719 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=15-07-2025 לע"נ ר' פייוויל ב"ר יצחק ע"ה ליום היארצייט שלו י"ט תמוז. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת בנו ר' חיים שי' טאני

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn asks the question of why the Torah says that Pinchas acted zealously for "his G-D". Why does the Torah use the singular wording in this context? With 2 answers Rabbi Kohn teaches about the concept of Leshaim Shomayim(for the sake of heaven) and the idea that we must view situations taht G-D has commanded us specifically to act.  Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast. For questions or comments please email RabbiShlomoKohn@gmail.com.

Unlock the profound lessons from Parshas Pinchas as we journey through an episode featuring the impactful story of Pinchas, the grandson of Aharon HaKohen. Discover how his zealous act of spearing an Israelite man and a Midianite woman brought a sudden halt to a devastating plague that had ravaged the Israelites, claiming 24,000 lives. We promise a nuanced exploration of the seeming paradox of his violent deed being rewarded with God's covenant of peace and reflect on the importance of lineage, especially as Aharon HaKohen's yahrzeit intersects with Rosh Chodesh Av. Additionally, we'll touch upon the spiritual shift from the joyful month of Adar to the solemn period beginning with the month of Av, offering a deeper understanding of these pivotal moments.In the second half of the episode, we underscore the intrinsic value of Torah study as a divine obligation rather than merely a source of personal pleasure. Join us as we discuss how a commitment to performing mitzvot (commandments) as a duty, even amidst challenges, fortifies our spiritual resolve. Embrace the perspective that while enjoying Torah study is indeed a blessing, aligning our actions with God's will is paramount. This dedication cultivates a continuous path of peace and connection with Hashem. Prepare to be inspired to embrace your sacred duty to study Torah with unwavering dedication, fostering a profound and enduring relationship with the Almighty._____________This episode (Ep 6.41) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Pinchas is dedicated in Honor of Danny Katz & in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded in the TORCH Centre - Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on August 5, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 11, 2024_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:What does 17 Tammuz teach us today?    How do the Three Weeks reflect the twists and turns and ups and downs of our life cycles?  Since Rabbi Akiva laughed because he saw that the destruction of the Temple is really a step toward its rebuilding, why do we mourn during the Three Weeks?   What do we learn from the breach of the Jerusalem walls?  What does Yerushalayim mean, and what is its message?   What lessons can we derive from Pinchas' zealotry?  Should we be aggressive with someone who behaves immodestly?  Should we admonish someone who is not keeping Torah and mitzvos?  What is the significance of dividing the land by lots?  What can we learn from the daughters of Tzelafchad on how to address unfair situations in an appropriate and respectful manner?   Can we learn from Balaam that at times we may need to receive blessings from the “other side”?  Is it appropriate to express anger at G-d for allowing the events of October 7th?  Are we allowed to kill innocent people and children in a time of war?  Can we apply the lesson to speak rather than hit the rock to the way we deal with Hamas?  Should we see Trump's narrow escape as divine intervention?  Is political violence always bad?  What do we learn from Parshas Pinchas?   What do we learn from Parshas Balak? War in Israel Assassination attempt against former President Trump What should be our attitude to an article criticizing the Rebbe? Can we learn anything from the Rebbe about whom to vote for in the coming presidential election?
