Consoling Pinchas
פרשת פנחס / י”ט בתנוז תשפ”ב
The Portion starts out with Pinchas receiving the blessing of peace. The reason is that he had just killed Zimri and Koziba. Even though they deserved to die and Pinchas was justified in doing so, he was disturbed by his action. Taking a life is a serious matter even when justified.
