Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi

The Questions That Change the Torah - Pinchas


Listen Later

 This morning's Breakfast & a Class explored one of the most remarkable patterns in the Torah—how some of the greatest revelations did not begin with prophecy, but with sincere questions asked by ordinary Jews who simply wanted to come closer to HaShem. 

  

We followed the striking connection between the people who asked, 'Lamah nigara?—Why should we be left out?' at the time of
Pesaḥ Sheni and the daughters of Tzelofḥad, who asked almost the very same
question. Rather than looking for exemptions or fewer obligations, they longed
for a greater share in the covenant. Their yearning became the catalyst for new
sections of the Torah itself. Along the way, we discovered Moshe Rabbeinu's
extraordinary humility in bringing their case before HaShem, the timeless lesson
of true leadership, and what we really leave as an inheritance to the next
generation. I hope this class inspires each of us to ask not, 'What is the
least I must do?' but rather, 'How can I draw even closer to HaShem
and have a greater share in His Torah, His mitzvot, and His people?'
