Pinchas | Erev Shabbat: Phinehas

Join us for our Erev Shabbat service we will be going through the weekly teachings from Monte Judah. This portion tells us the story of Phinehas (Pinchas), the grandson of Aaron (Aharon), when he took direct action against an Israelite who had joined with a Midianite woman. As background, Baalam was unsuccessful in cursing Israel, so we learn from Numbers 31:16 that he counseled the Midianites to send their sons and daughters to the Israelites to have them join together, leading them astray from Moses’ teaching. Zimri, the Simeonite, was a product of Baalam’s counsel. God had begun to judge Israel with a plague, just as Baalam had said, but Phinehas’s action stopped the whole process and brought deliverance to Israel. The remainder of this portion addresses the final census of Israel, the death of Moses, and the final efforts to enter the promised land. In particular, this portion details the offerings for each day in keeping the Feast of Tabernacles.
