כי יכול נוכל לה

וְהָ֤יְתָה לּוֹ֙ וּלְזַרְע֣וֹ אַחֲרָ֔יו בְּרִ֖ית כְּהֻנַּ֣ת עוֹלָ֑ם תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֤ר קִנֵּא֙ לֵֽאלֹקָ֔יו וַיְכַפֵּ֖ר עַל־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (במדבר כה:יג) הספרי אומר שכל הכהנים הגדולים בתקופת בית ראשון היו מצאצאי פנחס הכהן. הדעת שרגא מציין דבר מדהים: פנחס לא היה אמור להיות כהן כלל, כי הוא נולד לפני מתן הכהונה לאהרן ולארבעת בניו. רק באמצעות מעשה ההקרבה העצמית שלו [...]

Put Yourself on Hashem’s Side

"It shall be for him and his descendants after him a covenant of eternal kehunah because he was zealous for his God and made atonement for Bnei Yisroel.” (Bamidbar 25:13) The Sifri says that all the Kohanim Gedolim in the first Temple descended from Pinchas Hakohen. The Daas Shraga points out something amazing: Pinchas was [...]

מגיע לך

“לָכֵ֖ן אֱמֹ֑ר הִנְנִ֨י נֹתֵ֥ן ל֛וֹ אֶת־בְּרִיתִ֖י שָׁלֽוֹם׃” (במדבר כה:יב) המדרש הקפיד לומר לנו שפנחס היה ראוי לקבל שכר על המצווה שעשה. אך האם זה לא כך שתמיד מקבלים שכר על כל מצווה שמקיימים? מדוע חז"ל מצאו צורך להדגיש במיוחד כי לפנחס מגיע שכר? פעם ראיתי תשובה לשאלה זו מהחיד"א, שהסביר ששכר מצווה ניתן בעולם הבא, [...]

You Deserve It

Therefore, say: Behold, I give to him (Pinchas) My covenant of peace. (Bamidbar 25:12) Hashem said: “It is deserving that Pinchas should get rewarded, therefore I will give him my covenant of peace. (Medrash Rabbah 21:1) The Medrash makes a point of telling us that Pinchas deserved a reward for doing a mitzvah. But doesn’t [...]

(Under)lying to yourself

“Harass the Midianites, and smite them; For they afflict you with their schemes which they have schemed against you in the cause of Peor, [consigning their daughters to harlotry to turn you to Peor worship], and in the cause of Kazbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was smitten in the [...]

הטעות להטעות את עצמך

"צָרוֹר אֶת-הַמִּדְיָנִים וְהִכִּיתֶם אוֹתָם. כִּי צֹרְרִים הֵם לָכֶם בְּנִכְלֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר-נִכְּלוּ לָכֶם עַל-דְּבַר-פְּעוֹר; וְעַל-דְּבַר כָּזְבִּי בַת-נְשִׂיא מִדְיָן, אֲחֹתָם, הַמֻּכָּה בְיוֹם-הַמַּגֵּפָה, עַל-דְּבַר-פְּעוֹר." (במדבר כה:יז,יח) כשלמדתי את פרשת השבוע שעבר, עלתה לי שאלה לגבי הסיפור עם פנחס וכזבי. כזבי הייתה נסיכה ממדין ולא ממואב. בלעם המליץ לשלוח את בנות מואב כדי לפתות את היהודים לחטוא. אז איך נסיכת [...]

A Man Among Men

“Let Hashem appoint a man over the congregation.” (Bamidbar 27:16) Moshe Rabbeinu pleads with Hashem that a replacement leader be found, asking that the replacement be a “man over the congregation”. One would have thought that there would be some eloquent terms used, and a string of adjectives to describe the individual who would be [...]
