No attribute is inherently good or bad. It depends on how it’s used. The is the reason Pinchas is lauded as one who was jealous on behalf of God.

Lack of disciple can dismantle any semblance of order and plunge one’s life into chaos. Therefore, it’s important to maintain a vigilant adherence to even the smallest of beneficial habits or behaviors. We also discuss the reason the Torah charted Pinchas’ lineage to Aharon HaCohen.

No Mitzvah goes unrewarded. Eventually, the ripple effect of a good deed comes to fruition. Therefore, it is important to be steadfast in our commitment to be good and never give up.

We delineate the qualifications necessary for one to be a Prophet. Then we explain how Balak was able to achieve prophecy seemingly without qualification. Then we segue into the topic of Mental Illness in Halacha. We discuss such questions as: if one is mentally ill are they qualified to make financial decisions, effect a writ of divorce, or to participate in a minyan?

We analyze whether a Pidyon Haben can be performed on Shabbos or at least sent into motion beforehand. Then we apply the same reasoning to vending machines. Is ownership of a vending machine, that can be accessed on Shabbos, feasible? If so, can one own a site where payments are processed any time from anywhere?

We explain how Korach was able to convince all the Jewish People to be on his side when clearly the facts were on Moshe’s. Then we relate this idea to today’s current crisis, where seemingly, there’s a disconnect between all the sides of the political spectrum and there’s no way to bridge the gap.

We discuss how it’s possible to identify if one is biased with their own opinion. We also focus on the perspective of the Be’or Yosef who explains that there were two paradigms of what was happening in Eretz Yisrael at the time the spies were there.

We analyze the real motivations of the spies and others in the “meraglim” incident. Outside appearances may tell only part of the story.

We discuss the importance of Government and Police from the Torah perspective. Why are they necessary. And, are people truly evil when left to their own devices?

We explore how the Parsha hints to the reality of the Resurrection. Then we answer some curious questions about that time period. Will people recognize each other from their past? In which state will they be resurrected?
