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!

Chazal tell us about the miraculous nature of how the portions of each Shevet in Eretz Yisrael were given out. Why was it done with three separate miracles? It was split up both based on the numbers of those who entered Eretz Yisrael, and the numbers of those who left Mitzrayim. Why was it based on both, and what can we learn from it?Have a good Shabbos

Great leaders are often irreplaceable. The greatest leader of them all is certainly irreplaceable. But even Moshe must have a successor. In our Parsha, Moshe asks God designate a successor for him after he passes. Who can possibly fill such large shoes? Who can possibly take upon themselves the mantle of leadership of God's Nation?

התוכן א' מהחמשה דברים שאירעו בשבעה עשר בתמוז הוא ש"בוטל התמיד", וזה קשור עם חמישי דפ' פינחס שמדובר שם על הציווי של הקרבן תמיד וכו'. וי"ל שבקריאת פ' התמיד, ש"כל העוסק בתורת עולה כאילו הקריב עולה", מרומז התיקון לביטול התמיד וכו'. ויש לקשר זה גם עם המאורע של "הובקעה העיר", כי הנקודה התיכונה והנשמה של כל העיר – ירושלים – היא ביהמ"ק, והנקודה של ביהמ"ק היא הקרבת הקרבנות, אשר, התחלת וסיום הקרבנות הוא עם קרבן תמיד של בוקר ושל צהריים! (ע"ד ענין ה"חומה" שסובבת ומקיפה את הענינים שבתוך העיר וכו'). ועוד.משיחת יום ה' דפ' פנחס, י"ז בתמוז ה'תשמ"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-07-2025 Synopsis One of the five events that occurred on 17 Tammuz is the cessation of the Tamid offering. This has a special connection to chamishi of parashas Pinchas, which discusses the commandment of the Tamid offering, and being that “Whoever engages in studying the law of the Olah offering is considered as though he brought an Olah offering,” reading the Parashas HaTamid in the Torah also contributes to the undoing of cessation of the Tamid offering. This can also be connected to the fact that on 17 Tammuz the city was breached: the essential point and soul of the entire city of Yerushalayim is the Beis Hamikdash, and the essential point of the Beis Hamikdash is the bringing of the korbanos, which begin and end every day with the Tamid offering in the morning and afternoon (similar to a wall that surrounds and encompasses everything in the city etc.).Excerpt from sichah of Thursday, parashas Pinchas, 17 Tammuz 5749 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=17-07-2025 לזכות מנחם מענדל בן שיינא שי' ליום ההולדת שלו כ"א תמוזלשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובות

In this week's parsha, we watch as Moshe's leadership begins to pass to the next generation. He won't enter the land of Israel with the people he led out of slavery, but his story isn't a failure. It's a reminder that sometimes, we play a vital role in a journey we'll never see completed. What does it mean to be part of a story bigger than yourself? Tune in to find out.

BH Lead, but make sure "they" are following!
The Torah portion of Pinchas introduces a new type of leader, for a new generation. Now begins the era of the Land of Israel, which will not be about being led by Heaven, but rather about man making the first move...man taking the initiative for the honor of God. In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman connect the dots between every aspect of this amazing Torah portion, to find that they all flow around one great theme: continuity and the sanctification of change. Parashat Pinchas is all about how to channel transformative moments into lasting holiness. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.

How do we respond when the Torah condones violent extremism? How might our response shape our own Jewish lives, not to mention our relationship with Israel? In this episode, Rabbi Micah Streiffer argues for the importance of acknowledging when extremism is present, rather than trying to explain it away. --------------------------------- Seven Minute Torah is a production of LAASOK.
