Pinchas: Torah 41
Torah portion Pinchas opens with the unfolding of the tragic plan of Balaam. Then, in an instant, one who had no position or authority stands and executes judgment upon a shameful act. In this portion we consider two leader, one who was given a leadership position that he was not entitled to, the second was prepared for leadership over many years, yet, he still had to be set in leadership before the eyes of the congregation in order to calm their fears. There is much to unpack in this episode, but in this unpacking, we discover where we fit in the Lord's plan for today. Give a listen!
