Who was Pinchas? Where did he come from? What was he made of? Was his act of zealotry a true “Jewish” reaction? Was his ability to act in the moment to defend G-d’s honor, to assuage G-d’s anger a true “Jewish” reaction? Absolutely!

The Three Pillars Personified
The forefathers Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov were the foundations of the Torah world. They personally embodied the three foundations of the world: Torah, service and kindness. Kind deeds were the outstanding characteristic of Avraham, who is noted for his hospitality to guests. Yitzchak, who willing approached the sacrificial altar, exemplifies the service of HaShem. Scripture associates the Torah nation with Yaakov, as it says, “Moshe commanded to us the Torah, the inheritance of their congregation of Yaakov” (Devarim 33:4).
The mussar of the Men of the Great Assembly and of Shimon HaTzaddik consists of three components, as do many of the statements in this tractate. This is because three elements embrace the total perspective: Everything has two opposite extremes and a middle that unifies those extremes into a whole. For example, the pillars of existence are: the animal sacrifices of the Temple service and its opposite, kindness, and Torah that binds them into a total, balanced system.

The power of speech differentiates man from all of creation. And with the power of speech comes the power to bring good into the world and sanctify creation, or to bring evil into the world, and denigrate creation. Moshe used speech to achieve the former. Bila’am, the heathen prophet, used speech to achieve the latter.

Welcome to Project Shofar
The redemption of the Jewish People from the ancient Egyptians was a demonstration to the entire world of the existence of its Creator. The continued existence of this same Jewish People is meant to serve the same purpose. Yet, throughout the ages this tiny people has been exiled from its homeland and driven out of nearly every refuge it sought. It has been persecuted and murdered by nearly every nation in the world, and, in spite of these efforts to destroy her, this ancient nation, at its weakest moment, right after the holocaust wiped out a full third of its population, reestablished her sovereignty on the soil of her ancient homeland.
Clearly this was and is a supernatural event. From its inception and to this very day the nations of the world have sought to destroy the tiny Jewish State. What they refuse to consider is the fact that this state came into being as part of a Divine Process which was predicted in the Bible. The Jewish State is proof of the existence of the Creator of the Universe.
Gary Cooperberg has been sounding the ancient trumpet of Israel, the Shofar, and calling out to all who will listen that time is running out. Biblical destiny is not stoppable, but needless tragedy is. An American who is also an Israeli citizen and has lived in Kiryat Arba, Hebron, for well over twenty years, Gary Cooperberg makes regular visits to the states to speak out to all who will listen about the imminent Biblical Redemption. If you would like to invite Gary to speak in your area, contact him.

Light to the Nations – with Rabbi Chaim Richman of The Temple Institute.
Weekly series with new teachings available every Thursday.
Holiness in this World: Maimonides’ Hilchot Beit HaBechirah – Laws of the Chosen House, chapter VII: The Holy of Holies, the holiest place on earth: What is holiness? How can we become holy? Can a place or time be imbued with sanctity? Torah teaches us an emphatic yes to all these questions. And the soul/time/space nexus where the holiest moment of the year, (Yom Kippur), and the holiest spot on earth , (the Holy of Holies), and the individual who represents the holiest possibility of man, (the Kohen Gadol – High Priest), meet and merge together is nothing less than the entire purpose of creation.
