The Parsha Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Pinchas – Staying Hungry
Although a paternal grandson of Aaron the Kohein, Pinchas was not initially – prior to his heroic act of martyrdom – a Kohein. The law stated that only Aaron and his sons were to be anointed as Kohanim. All sons born to Kohanim subsequently were to be Kohanim, but Pinchas who was alive at the time of anointing of Aaron and his sons was excluded from this exalted fraternity. When he zealously ended the plague, a divine dispensation ruled that he was to be elevated to being a Kohein – a High Priest no less. In this podcast we study Pinchas’ unusual career trajectory and posit a pedagogical device designed to get the most out of ourselves and our charges.
