f a person feels that something is happening in his life that is unfair, and he wants to complain and question Hashem about it, it is important to know that he has a golden opportunity in front of him. One of the main jobs that a person has in this world is to learn to trust in Hashem. When we don't understand why things are happening and we wish they would be different, that is when we can show our trust in Him. It is specifically during instances where things don't make sense to us that we can capitalize on the opportunity we're being given to recognize that Hashem has a plan and it's for our best. This avodah is so precious to Hashem and is rewarded greatly. When Aharon and his children were chosen to be kohanim , only the future children that would be born to them would get the status of a kohen . Since Pinchas, the son of Elazar, was already born, he was excluded from the kehunah at that time. This meant he would be the only one in a family of kohanim who wasn't a kohen . When they would share in the eating of a korban , Pinchas would not be allowed to partake. When they would go to do the avodah in the Mishkan , Pinchas would not be allowed to go with them. As he got older, he watched every one of his cousins enjoying the rites of kehunah while he sat on the side, the only one excluded. It went on like that for 40 years. Pinchas could have said to himself, "This is not fair, why do I have to be the only one left out?" But instead, Pinchas had emunah in Hashem and did his job every day as a God-fearing Jew to the best of his ability with happiness. On the day he killed Zimri and stopped the anger of Hashem and stopped the plague from the Jewish people, that is when it became clear why Hashem kept him from being a kohen for all those years. If he had been a kohen , he would have lost it forever through that act of killing. Although it was l'shem shamayim , it still would have disqualified him from doing the avodah and enjoying the rites of a kohen . It was then that Hashem made Pinchas a kohen , but not just any kohen . All of the future Kohanim Gedolim only came from Pinchas, as it says in Sefer Yechezkel, perek 47. Furthermore, the Gemara tells us, all of the unanswered questions that our Rabbis in the Gemara had will one day be answered by Eliyahu HaNavi. Who became Eliyahu HaNavi? None other than Pinchas. As a reward for not questioning Hashem for 40 years, he is going to be the one to answer all of the difficult questions that our Rabbis had. Not only that, it says that Eliyahu is going to bring peace between us and Hashem. Eliyahu is going to answer all the difficult questions that people had regarding their own lives. For example, why couldn't I find my zivug ? Why wasn't I zocheh to have children? Why was it so hard for me to earn parnasah ? Why did I always feel alone in my life? Why did I lose my loved ones? There are so many questions that people have. At that time in the future, the answers will make sense to us. It will be so clear that we won't understand how we even had questions to begin with. If someone who has a question can decide now to trust in Hashem and remove the ill feelings that he has from his heart, that would be such a powerful avodah and would bring so much nachat ruach to Hashem. And then, instead of being ashamed when he is given the answers in the future, he will rather be praised for trusting Hashem and will be rewarded for all eternity.
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.

He teaches them how to make and annul a vow and under which circumstances a person can cancel a vow made by another.

Moshe gathered one thousand soldiers from each tribe and appointed Pinchas to lead the attack against Midian.

This a rendition of a speech at Shalosh Seudos at the Ahavas Torah Congregation of Scottsdale on Parshas Pinchas 5784. We discuss how the most qualified person to perform a task is the one who is the most in tune with the reality at hand.
The Torah parsha this week, "Pinchas," (Numbers 25:10-30:1) might be thought of as "part two" of the story that began last week with Balak and Bilaam, and ended with at least a bit of a 'cliffhanger' in the story of the deaths and plague associated with how Bilaam evidently managed to get the people of Israel to curse themselves, when he was not able to. And Pinchas, son of Eleazer the Kohen, and thus grandson of Aaron himself, did something dramatic, even shocking, to stop that plague. And perhaps the fact that he was rewarded by YHVH with the "Covenant of Peace [Shalom]" might even raise some eyebrows, especially today. What follows is then another "head count," and ultimately a reminder of the "Appointed Times of YHVH, as described by the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SSM-7-26-24-Pinchas-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 Last week, in the first installment of the story, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship touched on the end of the story as well, and of Bilaam, and how he got himself killed. Deservedly. But the story this week is Pinchas, and how he merited the Covenant of Shalom (Peace) from YHVH Himself, and for being "zealous" (qanah, in Hebrew) for Him. There is, of course, peril in thinking we can cavalierly "do likewise." But these are perilous times anyway. So it's a mistake to fail when we should act, too.

Parsha Pinchas: Strength and Serenity The Parsha Perspective is in honor of Eretz Yisroel. May G-d protect our brave soldiers. May G-d return all the hostages in Gaza immediately. The Parsha Perspective is in memory of my grandfather, Rav Yeudah Ben Aaron, Shlomo Ben Edward, Edward Ben Efraim, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha has the story of Pinchas, the grandchild of Aaron, receiving a reward for killing Zimri, the head of the tribe of Shimon. Zimri was publicly consorting with a Midianite princess, so Pinchas took a spear and ended both of their lives. We find what prerequisites Moshe Rabbeinu had for his successor. We learn what it means to be a warrior and scholar.
In this week's parasha , we read about the reward of Pinchas for his heroic act which stopped a plague and brought peace between the Jewish People and Hashem. Normally, an act of killing would make a person lose his privileges as a Kohen, but in this case it was just the opposite. It elevated Pinchas to become a Kohen, because his intentions were so pure, which only Hashem could know. And because he was willing to risk everything l'shem Shamayim , Hashem helped him in an extraordinary way accomplish his goal and He blessed him with the Kehuna . The Ha'amek Davar writes that anybody who is moser nefesh – he sacrifices to do a mitzvah l'shem Shamayim , he goes over and above to do what's right, מסעיין לו מן השמים אחר כך - he will receive special Heavenly help afterward. He might not see help immediately, but at some point, perhaps after continuous struggling, Hashem will open doors for him and lift him up. The sefer Emunah Shelemah told a story about a ba'al teshuva whose last name is Elbaz. He grew up in a home devoid of religion, but ‘ בחסדי ה he tapped into the spark inside of him and managed to become fully religious. He went on to learn full time in yeshiva, and he exerted himself to make up for the lost time during his younger years. He married a young woman just like himself, a ba'alat teshuva who wanted nothing more than to have a family serving Hashem the way they're supposed to. Neither of their families approved of their actions, and this couple found themselves basically on their own. The boy's family totally disassociated themselves from him in an act of protest to the lifestyle he chose. The couple was moser nefesh to stay strong and the wife was behind her husband to stay in learning. They managed with just enough to get by with not a penny extra to spare. One day, the man received a package from his father with money in it. Afterwards, his mother called to see how he was, then his sister and then his brother. He asked his brother why this sudden change in attitude. His brother replied, “Recently we were sitting in the living room, watching that screen, and we decided enough with this filth, let's do something more productive. We found a Jewish station called Hidabroot. We watched a Torah class, and we became inspired. We then came to the conclusion that you are the wise one and we decided to change our attitude towards you.” The young Rabbi Elbaz was overcome with emotion at this news. He called the Hidabroot phone line to make a donation in gratitude to them for restoring his family to him. The person on the other line said, “Well, we're currently holding a raffle that's going to be drawn tonight with the winning prize being a brand new apartment in Yerushalayim. Your donation entitles you to one ticket for that raffle.” That night, Rabbi Elbaz was awoken by the phone ringing, and he was told, “You won the raffle.” Just like that, they were homeowners and their families were restored to them. He and his wife sacrificed for years to do what they knew was right to honor Hashem, and then Hashem opened the door and helped them continue moving forward. The sefer Ohr Daniel brings a story that was told to him by the father of a young boy who was blessed with a very special voice. By the time this boy was 13, he was already hired to be a chazzan. He performed concerts and his father was making a lot of money from him. One day, the boy told his father he wants to go to yeshiva which would mean giving up his jobs. His father said, “I admire your desire to learn, but what about the gift Hashem blessed you with? You have to use it, not to mention, most of our parnasa comes from you. I just made a deal for a concert where you're going to be performing for thousands of dollars.” The boy continued to perform a little longer, but then he couldn't contain himself, he wanted to go learn so badly, he begged his father and his father finally said okay. The Rosh Yeshiva of the yeshiva he went to was very impressed with this boy. He told the father, “You're sacrificing now thousands, but eventually you're going to gain millions.” This boy rose to the top of his class and was clearly on another level. He was eventually sent to the Ponovitch Yeshiva. The Heavenly help he had in his learning was not to be believed. He became from the greatest students in one of the greatest yeshivot in the entire world. It was their self-sacrifice which produced their Heavenly help. When we push ourselves and sacrifice for Hashem, He lifts us up and brings us success. Shabbat Shalom.

Pinchas, Aaron's grandson, did a valorous and zealous act of bravery when he skewered the prince of the tribe of Shimon and stopped the plague from wiping out the entire nation. What motivated Pinchas' behavior? What attributes were at play during his act of zealotry? This question is answered in a comment in Rashi in our Parsha. We learn how qualities and attributes that are present in antecedents are manifested in their descendants. Character is heritable. That same theme is featured elsewhere in our Parsha, when the daughter is of Tzalafchad seek a portion in the land of Israel, in a manner similar to that of their antecedent Joseph. When we zoom out, we discover that the heritability of character, both good and bad, is featured in many many places in the literature. The lessons and the takeaways are profound.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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?

Although a paternal grandson of Aaron the Kohein, Pinchas was not initially - prior to his heroic act of martyrdom - a Kohein. The law stated that only Aaron and his sons were to be anointed as Kohanim. All sons born to Kohanim subsequently were to be Kohanim, but Pinchas who was alive at the time of anointing of Aaron and his sons was excluded from this exalted fraternity. When he zealously ended the plague, a divine dispensation ruled that he was to be elevated to being a Kohein - a High Priest no less. In this podcast we study Pinchas' unusual career trajectory and posit a pedagogical device designed to get the most out of ourselves and our charges.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –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.
