PARSHA AND WEEKLY UPDATE
"Pinchas, the son of Elazar, the son of Aharon the Priest, has turned away My anger from the children of Israel, by being zealous for My vengeance amongst them; and [thus] I did not destroy the children of Israel in My vengeance. Therefore, I say, behold I give to him My Covenant of Peace." [25:11-12]
Is this not an incredible statement? When G-d says that Pinchas was "jealous for HaShem," we understand. But G-d also gives Pinchas the "Covenant of Peace" -- When Pinchas saw a prince from the tribe of Shimon publicly cavorting with a Midianite princess, he killed them and the Torah calls him a peacemaker!
And the Torah traces the lineage of Pinchas back to Aharon, about whom Hillel said in the Sayings of the Fathers, 1:12, "Be of the disciples of Aharon, loving peace and pursuing peace, loving people, and bringing them closer to the Torah."
To some, this may be a very difficult subject to understand. It is important to understand that the Torah demands that each and every Jew understands that he/she is part of a larger Jewish Nation. And the goal is for each and every Jew to feel a connection to the National Responsibilities and Aspirations of the Jewish Nation as defined in the Torah. When a Jewish Leader publicly defames the Torah, he is no longer worthy of being a Jewish Leader. Such a Jewish Leader uses his stature to lure the Jewish People away from the National Responsibilities and Aspirations of the Jewish Nation. Therefore, Pinchas acted for the good of the Jewish Nation and was rewarded with the "Covenant of Peace".
The main problem confronting the Jewish Nation today, is fellow Jews that join forces with our enemies. This has been an ongoing problem since the Exodus from Egypt. Such people today, attempt to join major Jewish groups with the intention to subvert our support for Israel.

Join the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA) and Women in Solidarity with Palestine for a picket of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) this coming Friday July 10. Help us protest the ROM's failure to comply with international law and its ethical obligations by:
- Demanding the ROM recognize the Scrolls are looted Palestinian artifacts - Demanding the ROM dissociate itself from the Israeli Antiquities Authority which has systematically looted millions of Palestinian artifacts.
We have tried every avenue to avoid a picket -- representatives from the Palestinian community and other organizations have attempted dialogue with the ROM -- but none of the concerns have been addressed. We are left no choice but to publicly protest, as the ROM has refused to make public the documents it claims prove the legality of the exhibit. It has also refused to seek a UNESCO opinion on the matter.
Please join us for this important picket! Bring noise makers!
It is the intention of the Jewish Defence League of Canada to expose and confront all groups that threaten the well being of the Jewish People.
