Shiur by
Rabbanit Iris Odani Elyashiv
on Parashat Pinchas:
Just as God advocated for the property
rights of Zelophehad's daughters, we should
work to create economic opportunities for those
who have lacked them.
Parashat Pinhas is a very numerical parasha,
filled with census-taking and dividing ownership
of the Promised Land between the tribes of Israel.
A description of the highlights of the Torah,
according to the divisions of the weekly portions.
By Rabbi Ronald H. Isaacs
Unlike a Reader’s Digest version of the Torah,
which would cut out much of the law and all of
the lists, a description of the Torah following each
weekly portion reflects the real rhythms of the text.

You Find It and What Does It Say?, published

The prophet Elijah is so zealous
for God, he loses his job.
The haftarah selection is
from Kings I, 18:46-19:21.
The haftarah for Parashat Pinhas features the last,
and perhaps most famous, biblical story about
the evil Israelite king Ahab and his even-worse queen
, Jezebel, Elijah gained a reputation for working miracles
and crusading against idolatry. The haftarah begins just
after Elijah has slaughtered 450 worshipers of Ba’al.

Have a wonderful week
