The Power Of One Jew - Parashat Pinchas

Parashat Pinchas, which is a continuation of last week's Torah portion, proves the tremendous power of one Jew to either save, or Chas v'Shalom, destroy the nation. Pinchas turned back HaShem's wrath after Zimri's public sin, saving the Jewish people, and earning Pinchas HaShem's covenant of peace. Rabbi Yaron Reuven says this is a critical teaching from the Sages that every Jew must always have in mind, our next action could determine the fate of the entire Jewish people. The next mitzvah could be the critical merit to shift the judgment to the good and bring salvation to Am Yisrael!
