Weekly Torah Portion: Parashat Pinchas
Our portion picks up where last week’s left off, in the aftermath of a plague. Phineas is blessed by God for his actions and a new census of the people is taken. The brother less daughters of Zelophehad appeal to Moses for a share in the land of Israel and God delineates the laws of inheritance. God shows Moses the Promised Land, which he will never enter, and appoints Joshua as his successor. The portion ends with a list of the daily and holiday sacrificial services.
Balak: Rabbi Gedalia Meyer's Weekly Torah Study
Our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer has begun giving a short weekly teaching on the Weekly Portion for the Temple Institute.
We are grateful to our friends at the Temple Institute who have allowed us to provide Rabbi Meyer’s teachings here too.
In this lesson, we meet the daughter of Pharaoh, learn what she might have been doing at the Nile River and get a deeper insight into what she saw when she first looked at Moses.

Here we are again. Approaching three weeks of various stages of mourning which relate specifically to the destruction of the Beit Hamikdah, both of The Holy Temples, approximately 2000 years ago.
Jerusalem Day, The Jesus Question and Ramadan
Hi Friends,
Thank you to all who joined the time of fellowship with our friend, Gidon. Did you know his last name hasn’t always been Ariel? In this fun and inspiring episode, Gidon shares the overall meaning of Jerusalem Day and how it has impacted him personally.
It was a real pleasure to have a deep and holy conversation with Music Superstars Shlomo Katz שלמה כ”ץ & Nissim Black who teamed up for an
uplifting new Song and video called Chayot Hanohamot (“Howling Animals”).
“This song has woken something up in me,” said Rabbi Katz. “This is exactly what I am hoping we live up to as a people, both in the Jewish world, and humanity at large.
We get so many unsolicited comments and compliments! Here is one from our reader:
“I feel like I’m encountering something authentic.”
