  • The Severed Letter and the Unbroken Soul
    Jul 18 2025

    Title: The Severed Letter and the Unbroken
    Soul: Zimri, Pinchas, and the Redemption of a Cut Covenant

    This
    Shabbat: A broken
    letter. A severed soul. A redemption that spans lifetimes.

    Join us for “The Severed Letter and the Unbroken Soul” — a journey from
    Zimri to Rabbi Akiva and beyond.

    Opening:
    Questions That Demand Answers

    What do we
    do when we find a broken letter in a Sefer Torah? We stop. We call a sofer. We
    declare the scroll pasul. One letter broken, and the Torah’s voice is silenced.

    But there’s
    one shocking exception.

    In Parashat
    Pinchas, Hashem rewards Pinchas with a berit shalom — a covenant of peace. Yet
    in every kosher Sefer Torah, the word שָׁלוֹם is written with a vav
    ketu’ah — a broken vav. Not a sofer’s error, not an oversight, but a
    halachic requirement.

    Why here?
    Why now? Why peace — a word that also appears in Hashem’s name — fractured?

    And why was
    Pinchas, the hero of the moment, so hated by the people? Why did the mal’achei
    hasharet, the ministering angels, seek to kill him? What did they see that
    we don’t?

    Even more
    puzzling: our Sages reveal that Zimri’s soul returns — not once, but twice —
    once as Rabbi Akiva, and again as Ketiah bar Shalom both alive at the
    same time. Moreso Zimri had been here before and failed and this was his
    chance to fix things.

    What’s the
    thread tying all this together?

    To
    understand, we’ll journey together today. The inspiration for this class is a
    66 page booklet I received last week from Rav Chaim Rosenblatt of Netiv
    Aryeh in Jerusalem, it is based on the teachings of Rav Moshe
    Wolfson zatzal. I have also interwoven, as is natural, my own thoughts based on
    my limited understanding as I was taught by Rabbi Abittan Zsl.

    Lets call
    this a tale of a soul. Shattered. Elevated. Redeemed.

    To me, it’s
    the story of how Hashem never gives up on us.

  • The Broken Vav and the Wholeness of Peace - Pinchas
    Jul 16 2025

    In פַּרָשַׁת
    פִּינְחָס, Hashem gives Pinḥas the ultimate gift:

    “הִנְנִי נֹתֵן לוֹ אֶת־בְּרִיתִי שָׁלוֹם”

    “Behold, I
    give him My covenant of peace.”

    (במדבר כ״ה:י״ב)

    But if you
    look inside a Sefer Torah, you’ll notice something unusual:

    The word שָׁלוֹם
    is written with a ו׳ קְטוּעָה—a broken vav.

    Why would
    the Torah—which is תְּמוּמָה and שְׁלֵמָה—contain a broken letter?
