Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Pinchas

welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's toro Porsche is partials Pinchos the question of the week is how far do you have to go to help somebody so in this week's total portion parishes Penthouse we learn about the reward that Pincus received for stopping a tremendous plague on the Jewish people by standing up against two people that publicly desecrated God and God said because Pinchos went ahead and Sanctified my name in public and stopped my anger from spewing out over the Jewish people I am going to give him the bond of peace and we're going to give him the bond the priesthood for him and his offsprings afterwards she never says wow that's a huge reward why was it necessary to receive such a great reward and Robert explains like this when pinchas did what he did a he put his life in danger because the whole tribe of Sherman would have killed him B even the rabbis were against it and they wanted to actually ban him until Hashem says no no no you might be upset about what he did but I am happy what he did because he caused my anger to stop so here you see sometimes in order to cause God's anger to stop sometimes to help somebody requires us to go on Soul Sacrifice like we know there's many stories the monsantov and his students that will willing to give up tremendous holy things to help somebody else so to answer the question how far do we have to go to help somebody you should go as far as it takes whatever it means to give anything up physically spiritually because when you help somebody doing what Hashem wants and as long as someone wants Hashem is the ultimate Giver of all the greatest and beautiful blessings thanks so much for joining us for our weekly horror lesson this week's Torah lessons dedicated to memory of Baruch May their souls be elevated by his horror we're studying in their memory again thanks so much for joining us for more information please share our website swf.org have a great and blessed week
