Parshas Pinchas (5771)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
[(26:5) Rashi] How is the placing by Hashem of the ‘hei’ before the name and ‘yud’ after the tribal names resolve the issue of the nations of the world casting dispersion on the holiness and reliability of our lineage, insinuating that is was defiled by the Egyptians.
The names we are called actually have a true definite effect on our essence, and our essence is clearly manifested on our physical appearance. The countenance of our appearance truly calls out our holiness. The cute gentile child can’t compare with the holiness reflected on our sweet children. Nothing can compare withe aura of light emanating from the faces of our talmidei chachamim and our tzadikim.
We should be zochech to see the geulah b’karov.
