Parsha Pinchas Part 1
Last week, our Parsha
ends with Pinchas killing Zimri and stopping the plague that killed 24,000
people mostly from the tribe of Shimon. This year I have not brought down the
total numbers of men of war on each flank but looked into other interesting
things.
A social-sexual
revolution occurs in this Parsha. Close to 3300 years ago, women from the Bnei
Yisrael could become land owners and inherit their father. To this day in some
countries this is not possible. This will be in Part 2.
Sections of this Parsha
are read on each Shabbos, Rosh Chodesh, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and each Yom
Tov. Also in Part 2.
25:10
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 11 'Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned My wrath away from the
children of Israel, in that he was very jealous for My sake among them, so that
I consumed not the children of Israel in My jealousy. 12 Wherefore
say: Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace; 13 and it shall be
unto him, and to his seed after him, the covenant of an everlasting priesthood;
because he was jealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of
Israel.'
Be jealous or zealous
for G-D and G-D will be the same for you.
14 Now
the name of the man of Israel that was slain, who was slain with the Midian
woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a fathers' house among the
Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midian woman that was slain was
Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head of the people of a fathers' house in
Midian.
Remember from the past
post of reincarnation and the Kiddush HASHEM of Rabbi Akiva. Zimri who did a
Chillul HASHEM became Rabbi Akiva who taught all of Israel and died for teaching
Torah in public. Cozbi became Rachel his wife and in our Pasha she committed immorality
by listening to her father Zur. Rachel leaves the wealth of Kalba Savua to
marry Rabbi Akiva as a poor woman for Torah.
16 And
the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 17 'Harass the Midianites, and
smite them; 18 for they harass you, by their wiles wherewith they have
beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of
the prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague in
the matter of Peor.'
Because they followed
the advice of Bilaam on the physical front the people of Midian caused the
deaths of 24,000. There was no super-power to hold back the Bnei Yisrael from
vengeance.
26:1
And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spoke unto Moses and
unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying: 2 'Take the sum of
all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and
upward, by their fathers' houses, all that are able to go forth to war in
Israel.' 3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the
plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying: 4 '[Take the sum of
the people,] from twenty years old and upward, as the LORD commanded Moses and
the children of Israel, that came forth out of the land of Egypt.' 5 Reuben,
the first-born of Israel: the sons of Reuben: of Chanoch, the family of the
Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites; 6 of Hezron, the
family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the
Carmites. 7 These are the families of the Reubenites; and they that
were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and
thirty. 8 And the sons of Pallu: Eliab. 9 And the sons of
Eliab: Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. These are that Dathan and Abiram, the
elect of the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the
company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD; 10 and the earth
opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company
died; what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men, and they became a
sign. 11 Notwithstanding the sons of Korah died not.
For they listened to
Moshe while those from Reuven and Gad did not.
12 The
sons of Simeon after their families: … 15 The sons of Gad after their
families: … 14 These are the families of Simeon, twenty and two thousand
and two hundred. … 15 The sons of Gad after their families: 18 These
are the families of the sons of Gad according to those that were numbered of
them, forty thousand and five hundred.
Reuven-Shimon-Gad the
three tribes on the southern flank.
19 The
sons of Judah: … 22 These are the families of Judah according to those
that were numbered of them, threescore and sixteen thousand and five
hundred. … 25 These are the families of Issachar according to those
that were numbered of them, threescore and four thousand and three
hundred. 26 The sons of Zebulun after their families: … numbered of
them, threescore thousand and five hundred.
The eastern flank.
28 The
sons of Joseph after their families: Manasseh and Ephraim. 29 The
sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites--and Machir begot
Gilead; of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites. 30 These are the
sons of Gilead: of Iezer, the family of the Iezerites; of Helek, the family of
the Helekites; 31 and of Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and of
Shechem, the family of the Shechemites; 32 and of Shemida, the family
of the Shemidaites; and of Hepher, the family of the
Hepherites. 33 And Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but
daughters; and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah,
Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 34 These are the families of Manasseh;
and they that were numbered of them were fifty and two thousand and seven
hundred.
The whole lineage of Menashe
is brought down by me because of the daughters of Zelophehad later in this Parsha.
35 These
are the sons of Ephraim after their families: … 37 These are the families
of the sons of Ephraim according to those that were numbered of them, thirty
and two thousand and five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph after their
families. 38 The sons of Benjamin after their families: … 41 These
are the sons of Benjamin after their families; and they that were numbered of
them were forty and five thousand and six hundred.
This is the western
flank.
42 These
are the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham, the family of the
Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan after their
families. 43 All the families of the Shuhamites, according to those
that were numbered of them, were threescore and four thousand and four hundred.
Interesting point to
note if one goes into the Pasukim deeper, Benyamin had ten sons but in the
generation entering Eretz Yisrael there were 45,600 while Dan had only one son
but those about to enter Eretz Yisrael were 64,400. Which shows us that over
the
44 The
sons of Asher after their families: … 46 And the name of the daughter of
Asher was Serah.
She had a very pleasant
voice and was chosen to break the news to Yacov that Yosef was still alive. She
was blessed by Yacov with longevity and lived at least 400 years per the Midrash
so she got special mention.
47 These
are the families of the sons of Asher according to those that were numbered of
them, fifty and three thousand and four hundred. 48 The sons of Naphtali after their families: 50 These
are the families of Naphtali according to their families; and they that were
numbered of them were forty and five thousand and four hundred.
The northern flank.
51 These
are they that were numbered of the children of Israel, six hundred thousand and
a thousand and seven hundred and thirty. 52 And the
LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 53 'Unto these the land
shall be divided for an inheritance according to the number of names.
After the death of
24,000 men, we are 3,000 shorter than the number of men in the first census
that left Mitzrayim (Egypt).
54 To
the more thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to the fewer thou shalt give
the less inheritance; to each one according to those that were numbered of it
shall its inheritance be given. 55 Notwithstanding the land shall be
divided by lot; according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they
shall inherit. 56 According to the lot shall their
inheritance be divided between the more and the fewer.'
Now the Leviim were to
receive 24 cities scattered throughout Israel with 2000 Amos of land surrounding
the city for crops and they would become teachers of the children and live off
of Maaseh (Tithe). The Cohanim would live with them or near the Mishkan-Mikdash
aka Tabernacle-Temple.
57 And
these are they that were numbered of the Levites … 63 These are they that were numbered
by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the
plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 64 But among
these there was not a man of them that were numbered by Moses and Aaron the
priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the LORD had said of them: 'They shall surely die in
the wilderness.' And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
and Joshua the son of Nun.
The second half of the Parsha shall appear next week. My object is
to produce a quality Drasha weekly and not quantity that I try to meet. The
close to a day collapse of the internet was the main cause of not finishing the
Pasha as I had not copied and pasted the Parsha beforehand. To be continued …

The Tzadik who
slapped a donkey by R. Yerachmiel Tilles
https://ascentofsafed.com/Stories/Stories/5784/1389-46.html
When I was seventeen years old, in spite of my diligent study in
the Porat Yosef yeshiva, I enjoyed playing football[1] in my free time.
When my grandfather [the Chacham Menachem Menashe] would leave on Shabbat
morning to speak in different shuls (synagogues) till late in the day, I would
have time to play ball with a boy who lived in the neighborhood. I always made
sure to end the game before my grandfather was expected to come home. I didn't
want him to find out about it.
One Shabbat I was late and my grandfather saw me playing in the
square of the neighborhood of Beit Yisrael next to the shtiblach (the
building with small synagogues). He stopped, called me over and asked what was
the meaning of my playing ball on Shabbat!
I was embarrassed; I loved my grandfather. For me he was a 'golden man' with a
kind heart and a very generous hand. There wasn't anything I asked him for that
he wouldn't do for me right away. Of course I quickly let go of the ball and
followed him home.
On Thursday of that week my grandfather turned to me with a
request.
"Do me a favor, take this letter and bring it to Chacham
Rabbi Yehuda-Leon Patilon who lives in Yafo. It is very important to me
that I receive an answer."
Chacham Patilon was a painter who then lived in Yafo on Eliezer
Street, next to Shabsi Street. Both my grandfather and my father obm[2] were
very close to him and aware of his high spiritual level. In certain families of
Turkish descent, he was regarded as a hidden tzadik (righteous
person). They went to him to get blessings and advice.
He looked like a very simple person, so I wasn't impressed by him,
but my grandfather asked of me to go, so I took the letter and went.
The letter was written in Turkish in order that I shouldn't
understand. Still, I knew just enough to get the gist. In short, what it said
was "My grandson is going in the wrong direction, please take care of
him."
The trip from Jerusalem to Yafo took about two hours. Because of
the rocks on the road as a result of the work being done to widen it, I only
reached his house at two thirty in the afternoon.
He was sitting on the couch wearing a cap, with a week old beard. I
told him "My grandfather sent you a letter, he is waiting for an
answer."
He took the letter, looked at it and said, "Come, sit next to
me."
After I sat down he started telling me stories about reincarnation.
For example, he told me the following story.
"In Turkey I had a neighbor who shaved with a blade. I always pointed out
to him that shaving with a blade is against Jewish law, but he would laugh at
me.
"Years passed and I immigrated to Israel. One day I was
walking in Allenby Street in Tel Aviv, when suddenly I noticed that a donkey
had got away from his owner and was running in my direction. When the donkey
reached me, it spoke! It said, "Listen, I am your neighbor from Turkey,
please give me a rectification!"
"In front of all the people who had gathered around us I gave
him a slap. 'I will not give you a rectification," I announced.
"Suffer the rectification you go through now!' [3]
He continued to tell me stories about all kinds of reincarnations.
His tales took me away from reality into the past of a totally different world.
Regretfully, being young and a bit lighthearted at that age, I
didn't believe him. His stories went in one ear and out the other -- I didn't
take them seriously.
He noticed but continued to spin his tales.
Suddenly a cat entered the room. I wasn't surprised. When I arrived
I had noticed a big yard with geese, chickens and cats. Since it was a one floor
house, the entrance of cats was natural.
The cat started meowing. Turning to the cat, Chacham Leon said,
"Go, come back in half an hour." The cat left.
He looked at me and asked: "What time is it?" I told him
it was exactly three o'clock.
He again began telling me stories about people who passed away and
reincarnations, especially about people who reincarnated in animals.
The cat returned and the Chacham asked me what time it was. It was
exactly three thirty.
"You see" he said, "she came back after half an
hour. Give me a few minutes with her."
She stood in front of him on her hind paws, looking directly at his
face and meowing.
I only heard the meowing. I noticed with amazement that she was
moving her head like a person in conversation.
When she stopped meowing, she remained standing there looking at
him as if waiting for an answer.
He was so deep in thought, eyes closed, it seemed to me that he was in another
place.
After a few minutes that to me seemed like an eternity he opened
his eyes and said to her: "Go! Everything is rectified."
The cat turned and left the room.
I asked him in astonishment "You speak to cats?"
He answered me as if it was the most natural thing: "No, no.
That was a seventeen-year-old girl who was sewing on Shabbat and came to ask
for a rectification for the serious sin of desecrating the Shabbat, which is
the reason she was reincarnated in a cat.
"I just told you about reincarnations. Well, that was one of
them."
"What happened to the cat?" I asked him.
"The cat died. The soul in already above. I see her giving
account for other things."
"I don't believe you!" I said and went outside.
In the corner of Shabsi Street, about 200 meters from Chacham
Patilon's house, I saw her crushed body on the street, obviously a car had
driven over her and killed her. I recognized her from the white stripe on her
back. We hadn't heard the screech of sudden brakes or anything like that.
And Chacham Patilon had said that the soul had already left the
cat's body.
I returned to his house in shock. He saw my face and smiled. He
realized that I had begun to believe. He said, "Tell your grandfather that
everything is all right."

English by CRBA of a Hebrew article in "MESILLOT El HaNefesh" , the
weekly publication of Rabbi Yisrael Abergel, based on .
Why This week? The weekly Torah section this week is called
Pinchas, and the beginning is about him, while the Haftorah is all about
Eliyahu. That is because, as is widely understood, Eliyahu is considered to be
an incarnation of Pinchas. [I assume you all noticed right away the very
obvious connection also to last week's reading, Balak. If not, you can ask me;

Biographic note:
Chacham Menachem Menashe [1892 - 12 Elul, 1968] was born in in Turkey. He
learned Torah from the sages of Bursa and Istanbul, including Rabbi
Shlomo-Eliezer Alfandri. In 1918, he immigrated to the Land of Israel and
settled in Jerusalem's Beit Israel neighborhood with his wife and daughter. He
earned his living as a blacksmith, but devoted himself to the community,
opening a Torah learning and prayer center called Hevrat Ahavat Haim and
excelling in righteous deeds and charity. He also authored many works. The best
known one is Ahavat Haim, which includes sermons, Halachot and tales on the
weekly Torah reading portions. He was the father-in-law of Chief Sephardic
Rabbi, Ovadiah Yosef, z'l. [based mainly on Hyomi.org.il].

David in the Jerusalem Walls National Park solves a 150-year-old mystery.
Created by extensive quarrying, the moat formed a massive channel separating
the City of David from the Temple Mount and the Ophel area. Perpendicular
cliffs on both sides of the moat rendered it impassable. Initially, the purpose
of this rock carving was unclear, but further excavations, and linking it with
past discoveries, help revealing it as the northern fortification line of the

Friedman believes Harris’s nomination could lead to a historic shift of Jewish
voters to the Republican side. “Biden traditionally supported Israel, but
Harris does not pass the ‘kishkes test’ of genuinely supporting Israel,” he

pro-Israel and the Democratic Convention likely to be pro-Palestine, and you have
a significant shift.” Friedman further criticized Harris’s stance on Israel,
stating, “Kamala Harris has shown through her actions and associations that she

For years the Belz Rebbe would spend the summer
in a vacation home in Telz-Stone, a small town outside of Jerusalem. …
When asked why, he answered that one cannot go to rest when the soldiers are
risking their lives on the front lines. … "How can I travel for
rest and vacation when we are fighting a battle on all fronts and soldiers are
sacrificing their lives, they're working hard for us and we're going on
vacation?" … The Rebbe of the Sanz group also chose to forgo
his vacation this year. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/393636
My take on this: If you have served in the army and/or
the defense industries with devotion of hours upon hours you can feel free to
be on vacation. Otherwise, do like the Rebbes.
