Listen "Pinchas, Eliyahu & Jeremiah: Heroes in Distress-Haftarat Pinchas 5783"
Episode Synopsis
Parashat Pinchas this year 5783 or 2023 on the Gregorian calendar is the first shabbat of the three weeks of admonition. Also called Bein HaM'tzarim, between the straits is the literal translation. In this Parashah, it picks up with an incident that actually happened in Last week's parasha, in Numbers 25, where Pinchas skewered two people copulating in the open, a disgusting wanton brazen act that needed expiation. The rabbis discuss this event alone at great length and Pinchas is eventually compared to Eliyahu and the zeal that Eliyah had for HaShem at the altar where he proved HaShem was the one true God with the pagan worshippers of Baal. Coming onto the scene to meet Eliyah is both The Word of the L-rd and The L-rd Himself. What's the difference? Who is "The Word of The L-rd"? And why are there two different haftarot for this week? What are the connections to the Parasha itself? All this and more on this week's edition of Footsteps of The Messiah. Please send questions, feedback or ideas to [email protected] Shalom! שׁלום
