Enough with the family trees. We have
Pinhas, one of the most unbelievable
stories in the Torah. [music] So
powerful, he gets up and he sees one of
the heads of K'lal Yisrael doing an
aveirah, and he literally spears them.
They're dead. No more climactic thing
could we find than the story of Pinhas
in the Torah.
Torah has to come tell us Pinhas ben
Elazar and Aharon HaKohen.
What is going on? What do I care that
Pinhas ben Elazar and Aharon HaKohen
that we all go all the way back that
he's Aharon's grandson? Leave it. Say
Pinhas got up and did something awesome.
He was a kinai. He was a zealous person.
Wow, unbelievable. What's the Torah
trying to teach me?
There's an unbelievable lesson.
That people in life, they could be a
[music] fiery, passionate person, have
anger, ferociousness. Then we'd see what
Pinhas did. He was a ferocious guy. It's
not such a big deal.
Who was his grandfather? Who Where did
he come from?
From Aharon, who was the Ish Shalom.
This was not an easy act for him. It
wasn't some action movie and he was
doing something awesome. It was painful.
It was difficult. But he did it for the
sake of Hakadosh Baruchu and for the
sake of K'lal [music] Yisrael. That is
true greatness. When something isn't
easy for us, it's not our natural way,
it's not the way we're going to go, and
we do it anyway. Let's all push past our
natural instincts to be great [music]
for Hashem.
