Parasha Pinchas

In the Torah

Torah: Parasha Pinchas - Numbers Chapter 25 Verse 10 to Chapter 30 Verse 1

Haftara: Jeremiah Chapter 1 Verses 1 - Chapter 2 Verse 3

This is when the Parasha is read after the 17th of Tammuz - It represents a reading that relates to the upper three sefirot.

The essence - energy of Parasha Pinchas

This parasha deals with the energy of healing. Yet we must realize that it actually deals with the energy of certainty. To heal oneself or even to allow a doctor to heal one requires a level of certainty. that is what we receive from the Torah reading.

There are 5 anomalies in the Torah Scroll reading of Parasha Pinchas. They are:

1. In verse No. Bamidbar 25:18 there is a small Yood in the Name Pinchas. this Yood represents actions on the level of Malchut. One meaning is that the gematria of Pinchas is changed by this yood from 198 to 208. 208 is the gematria of the Name Isaac. Isaac represents the souls after Mashiach. This has many different understandings.

2. In Verse No Bamidbar 25:12 there is a split Vav in the word Shalom which means peace. If spelled with a yood it means complete. This indicates the unification of the 3 souls Pinchas who died from fear and Nadav and Avihu who died from many causes but the actual action is "bringing strange fire".

3. In Verse 26:1 there is a space in the middle of the verse right after the word that translates as "plague". This is a tool to reveal the light that heals all things and disease.

4. In Verse 27:5 there is a large Nun in the word Mishpatim. Mishpatim means laws. A final letter implies the time of Mashiach so it is not a level of preventing falling. Or it is preventing falling during the time of Mashiach. You choose.

5. In Verse 29:15 there is a dot over the vav in the word Veisaron. This is a dot that represents the lowering of the ego so that one can reach Zeir Anpin.

Commentary for the year 5777

The Zohar teaches that the Parasha Pinchas is all about Healing. In order to teach about Healing one needs to learn about why do people get sick including the ultimate sickness death.

Essentially the Parasha Pinchas teaches how to utilize the mercy of HaShem to avoid causing your own illnesses. Pinchas teaches how to have peace in your Life - How to bring joy and enhance happiness into your life. How does the story of Pinchas killing Cozbi and Zimri teach this?

By 5 anomalies in the Parasha which you can read more about Here. Also by teaching you about all of the Holidays except for the Rabbinic Holidays of Chanukah and Purim.

Yet these two Holidays are actually the manifestation of Joy and Happiness so they are included in the vaccine against sickness and death as well.

Thus your participation in these Biblical and Rabbinic Holidays will keep you well. No it is not just the physical participation in the rituals of these Holidays that is sufficient. The inner essence is also required.

Know that when one thinks they participate in the Holidays and still becomes ill - they did not participate in the inner essence and they need to redouble their Torah Learning of Kabbalah. This is my opinion and the inner teaching of the Zohar.

Here is a list of the Rituals and Holidays discussed in Parasha Pinchas:
