A Word from the Rabbi

Rabbi Paltiel

They say there are two things you'll find wherever you go - Coca Cola and Chabad!

I'm feeling it firsthand this summer. I bring you fresh regards, minute by minute via email and WhatsApp, from:

- My daughters Chana & Risha, at summer camp in the Laurentian Mountains, Canada.

- Berel who is head counselor in a large Chabad Gan Israel summer camp in Florida.

- Mushka who is a counselor at camp in Sweden.

- Mendel who is spending 6 weeks in the Congo with Chabad there, studying and teaching Torah to the Jewish community there.

Speaking of Chabad's international network, I'm kvelling this week as my nephew and his wife embark on their trip to establish a Chabad House in GHANA, AFRICA! See article below!

The Rebbe, who of course is the architect and inspiration behind Chabad's global outreach, was G-d's gift to the Jewish people especially to the generation following the Holocaust. It's been said: Hitler (may his memory be obliterated) hunted down every Jew with HATE... The Rebbe (lehavdil...) made it his mission to search out every one of his brethren... in LOVE!

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

Question of the Week

Why Do Jews Always Get Noticed?
By: Rabbi Aron Moss | Sydney, Australia

Question: Why do the Jewish people seem to loom so large on the world stage? The numbers don't add up. Here's a nation that comprises less than 0.2% of the world's population, yet we command so much attention you'd think there were billions of us. That's like a room of two thousand people, with one puny guy sitting in the corner whom everyone wants to talk to (or pick on)!

Daily Thought

The Thick Lagoon of Ego

He has an opinion of how each person should be, how each thing should be done. Those who follow his choreography are his friends, those who dare dance their own dance are his enemies; and few, if any, are left without a label.

In truth, he has neither enemies nor friends. He has only himself, for that is all that exists in his world.

"If you don't want to be so lonely," we tell him, "make some room for the rest of us."

Maamar Heichaltzu 5659.

The Parshah In A Nutshell

Parshat Pinchas

Aaron's grandson Pinchas is rewarded for his act of zealotry in killing the Simeonite prince Zimri and the Midianite princess who was his paramour: G-d grants him a covenant of peace and the priesthood.

A census of the people counts 601,730 men between the ages of twenty and sixty. Moses is instructed on how the Land is to be divided by lottery among the tribes and families of Israel. The five daughters of Tzelafchad petition Moses that they be granted the portion of the land belonging to their father, who died without sons; G-d accepts their claim and incorporates it into the Torah's laws of inheritance.

Moses empowers Joshua to succeed him and lead the people into the Land of Israel.

The Parshah concludes with a detailed list of the daily offerings, and the additional offerings brought on Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh (first of the month), and the festivals of Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret.
