The Torah portion of Pinchas introduces a new type of leader, for a new generation.
Now begins the era of the Land of Israel, which will not be about being led by Heaven, but rather about man making the first move...man taking the initiative for the honor of God.

Parashat Pinchas is all about how to channel transformative moments into lasting holiness.
