Exceptional Sons and Daughters
Tammuz 12, 5771/July 14, 2011
This week's Torah reading of Pinchas contains within its lines two separate narratives, seemingly disparate in every way. But if we reexamine the two incidents, thinking outside of the box, we will discover that the two "mutually exclusive" events really share much in common. The first account, which opens our reading, concerns Pinchas, himself. |
