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.

Have you ever wondered why a pagan prophet's words are featured so prominently in the Torah? Join us as we explore the enigmatic story of Parsha Balak, where King Balak's relentless efforts to curse the Jewish people through Balaam the prophet are thwarted by divine intervention. We unravel Balaam's complex character, revealed through his bizarre interaction with a talking donkey and his covetous nature. In particular, we scrutinize the poignant verse from Chapter 23, Verse 10, where Balaam paradoxically wishes to die as righteously as the patriarchs despite failing to live a life of righteousness. This episode powerfully illustrates the futility of seeking repentance at the eleventh hour and underscores the daily opportunities to connect with God through the 613 commandments.We then delve into the spiritual treasure trove that is the Shema, drawing wisdom from the Zohar. We discuss how the Shema's 248 words correspond to the 248 limbs of the human body, emphasizing the power of its recitation in dispelling negative energies. Simple yet profound morning rituals like washing hands, wearing tzitzit, and putting on tefillin are highlighted, offering practical guidance on living a meaningful Jewish life. With an engaging analogy involving a chocolate bar, we reflect on how dedicating even a small portion of our day to these mitzvot can yield profound spiritual rewards. Wrapping up, we encourage listeners to maximize every moment by connecting with the Almighty through His commandments and Torah study, enriching our lives in service to Hashem. May we all be blessed to live this way. Amen._____________This episode (Ep 6.40) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Balak is dedicated in Honor of Rabbi Yaakov & Dr. Sara Nagel & 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 6, 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.
