Message from the Rabbi

It’s counter-intuitive but it works. The secret to success in life is to think less about yourself and more about serving others. This is true in all regards; in personal or professional life and in your physical or spiritual work.

We are wired to be selfless. Our driving engine, our soul - i.e. our true self, is selfless. It’s focus is on what needs to be done; what it’s needed for - not on what it needs. That’s why we are happiest when we help others for purely altruistic reasons - the less self centered we act, the better we feel and the more success we enjoy.

Unless you specifically want to spend lots of time and money sitting on a psychiatrist's couch, do yourself a favor and find more ways to serve others. Too much focus on yourself leaves you feeling empty, focusing on others fills you up.

Lets do ourselves a favor and get out of our box.

Story
The Miser Who Built the Mikvah
“The community is too poor, and cannot shoulder the financial burden of this endeavor. And as for the local gevir, it is a waste of time even to approach him . . .”
The Parshah In A Nutshell

Parshat Pinchas

Aaron’s grandson Pinchas is rewarded for his act of zealotry in killing the Simeonite prince Zimri and the Midianite princess who was his paramour: G‑d grants him a covenant of peace and the priesthood.

A census of the people counts 601,730 men between the ages of twenty and sixty. Moses is instructed on how the Land is to be divided by lottery among the tribes and families of Israel. The five daughters of Tzelafchad petition Moses that they be granted the portion of the land belonging to their father, who died without sons; G‑d accepts their claim and incorporates it into the Torah’s laws of inheritance.

Moses empowers Joshua to succeed him and lead the people into the Land of Israel.

The Parshah concludes with a detailed list of the daily offerings, and the additional offerings brought on Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh (first of the month), and the festivals of Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret.
