What is a Leader?

פרשת פנחס / כ”א בתמוז תשפ”ב

In this week’s portion we learn the difference between real leadership and a leader that follows the crowd. Pinchas was not yet chosen to be leader but had a moral compass. Zimri had inherited his position as leader of the Tribe of Shimon and had no moral compass. Zimri thought he could get away with violating the law flagrantly due to his family’s influence. He was mistaken and paid with his life.

    Another great talk, Shlomo. It sure feels like a lesson that applies to modern times!
