The Rosh Yeshiva explains the covenant of peace that HaShem made with Pinchas (Phinehas), its significance and meaning, and from this what our ultimate goal and work in this world should be, resulting in the attainment of the greatest pleasure a person can have in this world.
The Rosh Yeshiva expands upon his mussar shmooze from a couple of weeks ago about why the Jewish people were not able to hear Moshe Rabbeinu (our teacher Moses) in Mitzrayim (Egypt) because of shortness of breath/spirit, contrasting that generation with the greatest generation of all time and the great example they gave us. May we be inspired to emulate their ways, so that we, too, will be at peace in the midst of our challenges.
Mussar Shmooze given over by Rabbi Yitzchak Goldstein, Shlit”a, Rosh Yeshiva of Diaspora Yeshiva, Parashas Pinchas 5784.
