Mazal Tov Altein! – It’s A Girl!
Tzvi Hirsh and Rikki (nee Gurevich) Altein (Crown Heights)
1. This week’s Torah portion tells us the famous story regarding Pinchas (Phinehas) and how he killed Zimri the prince of the tribe of Shimon (Simeon), thereby pleasing Hashem greatly Who declared that Pinchas deserves a reward for, “zealously avenging My vengeance”.
2. Our Sages tell us regarding the Oral Law (Torah Shebal Peh) that “it is impossible for scholars of the Study Hall to conduct a session without expounding a novel teaching”. If this is the case regarding the Oral Law, surely regarding the Written Law (Torah Shebichsav), from which our Sages learn numerous laws from even one letter, there must be a novelty in the story of Pinchas.
(3. Here is a summary of the story about Pinchas which is told at the end of last week’s Torah portion (Parshas Balak):

As a result, various educational institutions have been founded all over the world – all dealing with the universal challenge that we face in our homes – which is also the key to our success on the outside – chutzah – the education of the Shluchim’s kinder.
