“This much I knew As soon as you feel comfortable that's when It's time to start over.”

"Pinchas Ben Elazar Ben Aaron HaCohen Hayshiv Es Chamosi Mai'al Bnei Yisroel"; "Pinchas, son of Elazar, son of Aaron the Kohen, turned back my anger from upon the Bnei Yisroel" Instead of saying "Hayshiv"- "turned back" my anger - it should have said "Bateil"- "nullified"?
Dovid HaMelech says in Tehillim,"Pinchos arose and executed judgment and the plague stopped. It was counted to him "LiTzdakah"- as a righteous deed - for all generations forever." What does the act of Pinchas have to do with Tzdakah?
The Vilna Gaon answers, according to the Torah every Jew is obligated to give annually a Machatzis HaShekel - a half Shekel- for the purchase of Korbonos Tzibur - communal offerings. The word "Machatzis' consists of 5 letters, the middle one being a "Tzadi", the first letter of the word ‘Tzdakah". Immediately flanking the Tzadi are a "Ches " and a "Yud", which spell the word "Chai" - life - and at the outer ends are the letters "Mem" and "Tof", which spells the word "Mais" - death. This is an allusion to the adage "Utzedakah Tatzil MiMaves" - Tzedakah saves from death.
Pinchas through his zealousness removed the plague from the Bnei Yisroel, thus committing an act of Tzedakah whereby life prevailed and death was excluded.
In the word "Chamosi" - "my anger" - it is the reverse. The middle letters are "Mem" and "Tof", which spells "Mais" - "death" - and the outer letters "Ches " and a "Yud", which spell the word "Chai" - life. Hashem was saying that Pinchas "Hayshiv Es Chamosi" - inverted the word "Chamosi " - chasing death away and bringing life.

Torah and kindness
A friend told me about Torah Wellsprings, thoughts on the parsha by RABBI ELIMELECH BIDERMAN SHLITA. I found the PDF for this week's parsha and just read through it. I highly recommend reading it. You can sign up for an email over here and read the PDF over here.
I received an email today asking to spread the word about a "campaign we are doing to add a bridal gown section to the work that we do to assist orphan Chatanim and Kallot."
Please click here to learn more about the Chessed Ve'Emet activities.
The haftorah of Parshat Balak which we read this Shabbat ends with the verse, "He has told you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord demands of you; but to do justice, to love loving-kindness, and to walk discreetly with your God."
Why not do a kindness NOW by helping out the brides?

Courts, judges and monitors
By a margin of 7-2, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday to remove the state Capitol’s Ten Commandments monument. The state Supreme Court ruled that the monument is “obviously religious in nature and … an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths,” and therefore defies separation of church and state.

Devarim 16:18 commands, "You shall set up judges and law enforcement officials...."
Perhaps judges should be removed because they are spoken about in the Bible. Also, what about laws regarding homicide, theft, etc? Sounds suspiciously like the Ten Commandments.
