A Jew is different. We have to be sensitive, G-d fearing; we must have the trait of tov v’ra [good and evil] and also walk with tzniyus [modesty] before Hashem. That is the deeper message that we learn from the Avos [Forefathers].
The teachers of ethics expounded allegorically: A person must appoint for himself judges and officers in all his “gates,” that is, in the mouth, the eyes, and the ears, to guard himself from sin. At night, one should always make a cheshbon ha’nefesh [accounting of the soul], judging whether he behaved himself properly.
The Responsibility of a Father to Discipline His Children
The Rosh Yeshiva explains why HaShem’s command to harass the Midyanim (Midianites) at the beginning of Parashas Pinchas is followed by instructions about vows in Parashas Mattos and related matters, from what Bilam (Balaam) was really trying to accomplish against the Jewish people, what the Jewish family is about and how religious Jewish families live, where the Shechinah dwells and from what comes wealth and happiness, to what is essentially the worst transgression a person can make to the related prohibition on making vows in general, when they are permitted, when and how they can be nullified.
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 Fast of Tammuz, Getting Through It, or It’s Getting Through?
Why did HaShem instruct Moshe to, ‘Avenge the vengeance of Bnei Yisrael from the Midyanim,’ and why the Twelve Day War was so decisive.
The Rosh Yeshiva speaks about what Mashiach really means and represents to the Jewish people, what we’re really waiting for, what is lehatchilah (ideal) and what is bediavad (acceptable), according to a variety of related concepts from Jewish sources.
