Parshat Pinchas - Halacha & Aggada

The following are some thoughts on the halachot of  "Mashuach Milchama" - the special Kohen that would escort the Jewish people out to war... This is relevant to Parshat Pinchas because the Gemara in Sota says that Pinchas himself was a Kohen Mashuach Milchama.

Note: This is simply a copy/paste from my (unedited) notes. I try not to apologize for things I choose to share with others, but in this case I feel like I should warn you that there might be typos/errors. This excerpt is actually part of a larger project that is worth explaining, but maybe we'll save that for another time...

If you are interested in some divrei Torah (aggada) in English, please feel free to look back at what we wrote last year.

Shabbat Shalom
