Weekly Torah Portion: Pinchas

"A generation goes and a generation comes," said Kohelet, and that is exactly what we are witnessing in the meteoric rise of Pinchas, the history making appeal of the daughters of Tzelaphchad, and the appointment of Yehoshua bin Nun to lead Israel into the promised land. The generation of the desert, led and fed by G-d, with the help of Moshe, Aharon and Miriam, has given way to the generation of the land of Israel, whose new leaders will give voice and expression to the will of HaShem.

[@IGotTheSauce2]

I enjoy your weekly teachings. Thank you for taking time to share your knowledge with us. I cannot explain the love I have for the Jewish people and the God of Avraham, Yitzchak and Isreal.

[@Dani-rr8ft]

Thanks G-d. May HaShem bless you more and more. Your words enter on my heart like fire and make my eyes open to a new dimension of the Torah. The perfect union between the Heavens and earth, mind and heart. Todah. May HaShem give me the merit to put these teachings into action. Amem.

[@verah619]

Thank you, Rabbi. Reminds me of the commandment given to Adam to "have dominion". We are to be co-labourers with the Almighty; to proclaim His Name in the earth, to be zealous for His Name, to conquer the land set before us. Shalom.

[@marvinmayo8272]

Thank you Rabbi. Looking forward for the next Parashah.

10And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplications. And they shall look to me because of those who have been thrust through [with swords], and they shall mourn over it as one mourns over an only son and shall be in bitterness, therefore, as one is embittered over a firstborn son. יוְשָׁפַכְתִּי֩ עַל־בֵּ֨ית דָּוִ֜יד וְעַ֣ל | יוֹשֵׁ֣ב יְרֽוּשָׁלַ֗םִ ר֚וּחַ חֵן֙ וְתַ֣חֲנוּנִ֔ים וְהִבִּ֥יטוּ אֵלַ֖י אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁר־דָּקָ֑רוּ וְסָֽפְד֣וּ עָלָ֗יו כְּמִסְפֵּד֙ עַל־הַיָּחִ֔יד וְהָמֵ֥ר עָלָ֖יו כְּהָמֵ֥ר עַֽל־הַבְּכֽוֹר: 11On that day there shall be great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the Valley of Megiddon. (they are talking about King Hezakiah the greatest King that ever was that ever lived (that was killed in battle and mourned) in Eretz Israel) using nice Jewish translation that hasn't been fiddled with and in context of course.)

I look forward to your teachings every week and especially enjoy when you say “so open up your hearts in the deepest way” as I know your teaching is about to produce a gem beyond the norm. Pinchas has me thinking about things going on in the world today and how a handful of people are swaying the masses. Just think, out of millions of people only 24,000 had to die. Until that moment of Pinchas’s righteous act the people were crying not knowing what to do. Here we are...the masses crying because of the unrighteousness acts of a few. Strange is the nature of humans. I’m praying for Pinchas to wield his sword again. Or, for Messiah to put His feet upon the mountains. Or, if the time is not now for either, then for the masses to stop crying and to stand up and stop the few.

Yes. Sexual purity is very important. It's particularly difficult for males not attracted to women. Thank you for this teaching, gently delivered.

Things were *getting very cute* that time in Palestine, in the eyes of G-d.

[@reneemerkel926]

Hi. I am a bit confused by your assessment of the situation. We read in bamidbar 25.4 that it was YHVH, the Supreme Righteous Judge, who already charged, convicted and sentenced the wrongdoers, and commanded Moshe to take all the heads of the people and have the guilty impaled. In verse 5, Moshe in turn, commands the judges to carry out the just punishment. In v6, all the congregation were standing there weeping, (perhaps knowing their own family members / friends were now doomed... we can only speculate, because the scripture does not state it.) It was only Pinchas who actually ACTED on the command given. Very similar to the Golden Calf incident in Shemot 32.26-29. Only the Levites responded to Moshe in v26. He commanded them to go thru the camp and kill their brother, their friend and their neighbor, in v27. That is a heart-wrenching thought, but again, it was the sons of Levi who DID as commanded, and the result? Verse 29: consecrate yourselves today before YHVH... so that He may bestow a blessing upon you... perhaps the lesson is that Yah wants leaders who do not show partiality, either in judging, sentencing or carrying out the decree to execute. Shalom.

J.C. was a, proper, Rabbi, actually. To the dot... :)

The Temple is about J.C. But J.C. isn't "a King," he was never a king. :)
