Today on Table Talk with BBYOInsider we are giving an in-depth look at this week's parsha—Parsha Pinchas—as part of the Simchat Torah Challenge.
Learning from Rav Tzaddock HaCohen Sefer Pri Tzaddick on the Parshat Pinchas we see that true Zealousness comes from good lineage (Aharon Hakohen and Avraham Avinu our ancestors) which is rooted in Chessed aka Kindness and is for the good of all Yisrael. Just like our army service of my sons Kohanim Giborim Kedoshim L'chaim always. Seeing the deeper truth of the 3 weeks. etc... Cover
Korach's pursuit and Pinchas' reward create a fascinating contrast.
The Hidden Light of the Three Weeks Welcome to Daily Bitachon. Today, we are discussing the spiritual messages embedded within the Three Weeks, and how they directly connect to our Bitachon (trust in Hashem). We mentioned previously that the three weeks of mourning between the 17th of Tammuz and Tisha B'Av—which are about to begin this Thursday—correspond to the three-week period from Rosh Hashanah until Shmini Atzeret and Hoshana Rabba. Whether you count 21 or 22 days, these two periods mirror one another. As the Sefer Maharsha explains, hidden within these three weeks of mourning is the tremendous light of the High Holidays and the joyous season of Sukkot. The Meor V'shemesh explains that this is why every year, usually right after Shivah Asar B'Tammuz (as we will this year), we read Parshat Pinchas. Parshat Pinchas contains the Torah portions detailing the Korbanot (communal offerings) for all the major holidays: Pesach, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, and Sukkot. By reading about these offerings now, we arouse the spiritual power of the very holidays we are destined to create during these three weeks. The Concept of Transforming Darkness What is the underlying concept here? We can understand this through a teaching from Rabbeinu Yona. A verse in Tehillim (Psalms) states: "Make us happy ( Samcheinu ) corresponding to the days You afflicted us ( k'yemot initanu ), the years we saw evil ( ra'inu ra'ah )." As an aside, I once heard a beautiful explanation of this: We pray for joy matching the days of pain where we " saw evil." It means it wasn't really evil; it only appeared that way to our human eyes. In truth, everything Hashem does is entirely good. In the second gate of Sha'arei Teshuvah (Letter 5), Rabbeinu Yona writes that a person who truly relies on Hashem should place their hope in Him even in the most dire situations, recognizing that the darkness is actually the cause of the light ( כי החושך סיבת האורה ). He brings a proof-text from the Prophet Michah: "Do not rejoice over me, my enemy, for though I have fallen, I have risen; though I sit in darkness, Hashem is my light." On a simple level, this means: I fell, but now I am up; I was in the dark, but now I have light. However, Rabbeinu Yona quotes Midrash Tehillim (on Chapter 22) which takes it deeper: If I hadn't fallen, I never would have gotten up. If I hadn't sat in the dark, I never would have experienced the light. The light coming from darkness and the rising from a fall is not an afterthought. The fall is a prerequisite for the rise. As it says, "A righteous man falls seven times and rises." He actually needs those seven falls in order to achieve those seven ascents. The Secret of Jewish Hope The Ramchal (Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto), the famous author of the Mesillat Yesharim , writes in his book Ma'amar Hageulah that this concept is the very secret of Jewish Bitachon ( סוד ביטחון ישראל )—the foundation of our enduring hope for the complete and speedy redemption. To bring about this ultimate redemption, vast spiritual preparations and cosmic effects are constantly at play. Those who study Kabbalah understand how this dynamic works: when the Jewish people feel that God is hiding Himself and has forsaken them, that is precisely the time when Hashem is constructing immense spiritual treasure houses. Metaphorically speaking, these treasure houses are limitless in size and grandeur, filled to the brim with the most magnificent jewels and diamonds. When these storehouses are filled to a capacity beyond what the mouth can express, the ear can hear, or the heart can conceive, Hashem will open them. At that time, the Jewish people will delight in unbelievable pleasures that were forged through their hard work during dark, difficult days. This is the true meaning of Simcheinu k'yemot initanu —"Make us happy corresponding to the days of pain." Throughout this long exile, whenever we experienced a lack of light, that light was never lost. Low Light Means Saved Light This is a mind-boggling concept. Hashem takes the light and stores it away in a treasure house. Imagine you were supposed to receive a daily dose of light, but instead, you experienced total darkness. That light didn't vanish; it was saved for later. Therefore, the darker the darkness, the greater the ultimate light will be, because more light is being preserved. "Low light" simply means "saved light." Following this framework, what are the moments of greatest potential light? A Holocaust, an Inquisition, a pogrom. Those were incredibly dark days, but the light was not lost; it was being stored away. Ultimately, we will merit a world of complete tranquility and serenity, where no moaning remains. To add to this point (independent of the Ramchal), the verse says: "Light is planted for the righteous ( Or zarua latzadik ), and joy for the upright in heart." We are planting light right now. And when you plant light, incredible things grow. Reflecting the Divine Light Midrash Rabbah (Shemot 15:27) notes that the moon represents the light of the Jewish people. Just as the moon has no light of its own but receives and reflects the light of the sun, the Jewish people receive and reflect the light of Hashem. The Midrash connects this to the verses, "Or zarua latzadik..." and "Arise, shine, for your light has come." This is the deeper meaning of "Hachodesh hazeh lachem" —"This month shall be to you." We are like the moon; we wax and we wane, we diminish and we grow, but we always retain the capacity to reflect the Divine light. This is exactly what is happening during these Three Weeks. We have to experience a certain level of darkness to cultivate that future light. We must mourn the destruction of the Temple and truly internalize what we are lacking. By moving through these Three Weeks in a state of spiritual darkness, we are actively creating the light of the future Geulah (redemption). It is a wonder of wonders to view the upcoming Three Weeks, starting this Thursday with Shivah Asar B'Tammuz, through this lens. B'ezrat Hashem , we will continue with these vital lessons, but this is a powerful, foundational concept to carry with us.
Parshat Pinchas - Stumping Moshe
How can a tradition stay true to its values while continuing to grow? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Leon Morris explore the story of the Daughters of Tzelofchad in Parshat Pinchas and what it teaches about change within tradition. By courageously bringing their case before Moses, these five women help expand the Torah's laws of inheritance without rejecting the system itself. Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, the conversation reflects on how societies grow through thoughtful interpretation, principled debate, and the ongoing pursuit of justice.

There are a number of words with an extra Hei at the end. What's that all about?
What is the connection between Pinchas and Eliyahu? Why, in the opinion of one Sage, are the verses about the daily offerings the most important in the Torah? What do the daughters of Zelophehad teach us about the role of women? All this and more on this week's Ponderings on the Parsha!
What if Moshe couldn't see that the people had already grown up? In this episode, Parshat Pinchas takes center stage as Zvi Hirschfield and Aviva Lauer delve into the powerful juxtaposition of two pivotal moments in Bamidbar 27: the bold legal claim of the daughters of Tzlofchad and the appointment of Yehoshua as Moshe's successor. They explore rabbinic expansions from Avot de-Rabbi Natan, the challenge of seeing people as they are today—not as they were—and the evolving nature of Torah leadership and inheritance. Their discussion raises timely questions about authority, growth, and meeting learners where they truly are.
In this conversation with Dr. Ayelet Hoffman Libson, we discuss the episode of the daughters of Tzelofechad who approach Moshe asking for the right to inherit their deceased father's land. Our conversation speaks about the strength of Moshe as a humble leader as well as the women's wisdom reflected in their request for legal latitude. Thank you to Chana Shefa, Adira Lautman Botwinick, and Sivan Krug who are celebrating one year of weekly parsha learning together, with a tefilla that their connection to one another and to Torah continues to grow and flourish. Our Bamidbar Series explores different forms of leadership in the book and in the Jewish world.

Send us a Text Message.In this special sermon honoring Rabbi Bernath's birthday, he reflects on how we often let minor inconveniences overshadow the immense blessings in our lives. He connects this idea to the significance of the upcoming fast of Shiva Asar b'Tammuz, which marks the beginning of "the Three Weeks," a period of mourning in Jewish history. Through the lens of the Korban Tamid, a daily sacrifice in the Temple, Rabbi Bernath illustrates the importance of consistency and steadfastness in our spiritual practices. He emphasizes that it is the daily, unwavering observance of mitzvot that sustains the Jewish people, much like the Korban Tamid represented the unity and commitment of the Jewish nation.TakeawaysAppreciate Minor Inconveniences: Recognize that minor complaints often highlight the privilege of living in a free and prosperous society.Significance of Shiva Asar b'Tammuz: Understand the historical and spiritual importance of this fast day and the tragedies it commemorates.Consistency in Worship: Learn from the Korban Tamid the value of regular, consistent observance of mitzvot, which forms the foundation of Jewish survival.Unity Through Shared Practices: The Korban Tamid, funded by all Jews through the Machtzis HaShekel, symbolizes communal unity and shared responsibility.Everyday Mitzvot Matter: Realize that seemingly mundane religious practices, performed consistently, bring immense pride and joy to G-d.Support the Show.Please partner with us by purchasing a ticket in our raffle.

Everything Hashem does is for the good. Just sometimes it's difficult to see it. We're living in a time where it's very difficult to see that everything Hashem is doing for the Jewish People leading to a day of great light. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.
