To Merit Faith in the Tzaddik and to Ask Hashem Not to Leave the Tzaddik and to Be Saved from Jealousy and to Merit Bringing Joy to the Tzaddik with Self-Sacrifice and to Be Careful of the Tzaddik's Displeasure Even by a Hair's Breadth

"A Letter of Strength in Faith"

In Parshat Pinchas, we ascend to the Primordial Man of the Primordial Man, and we are included in the World of Atzilut, where Pinchas reached, "when he was zealous for Hashem's jealousy", and he risked his life, for the entire tribe of Shimon wanted to kill Pinchas and take revenge on him for killing a prince in Israel who was a descendant of Yaakov, as the Gemara in Sanhedrin 82b states that Shaul the son of the Canaanite was actually Zimri the son of Salu, about whom it is said "a strutting rooster or a he-goat, and a king against whom there is no rising up", because Zimri the son of Salu, who was born during the descent to Egypt, was attached to his unique grandfather and learned the entire Torah from him, but he was full of questions on Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be upon him, and at the age of 130, he received the wondrous news of the birth of Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be upon him, who shone like the sun at noon, and the whole house was filled with light, and from then jealousy entered him against Moshe, and every time Moshe Rabbeinu did something special, he was immediately filled with endless questions and inquiries, especially when he killed the Egyptian officer in Egypt, who was appointed to wake the Jewish workers from their sleep and set them to their work order, and all this Shaul the son of the Canaanite, who is actually Zimri the son of Salu, could not understand how Moshe Rabbeinu could strike to death an Egyptian man, pure and noble, and why do this without any wrongdoing on his part? And thus tens

and hundreds of questions on Moshe Rabbeinu accumulated in him, until he reached the most difficult question, which is the eternal question, that when the king's daughter came and offered him marriage, he took her before Moshe and asked him, is she forbidden or permitted? Moshe Rabbeinu said to him, forbidden, then why did you marry a Midianite? And you have two sons, Eliezer and Gershom from a Midianite, and thus the questions in his heart multiplied day by day, until Pinchas arose and took a spear and killed him, because he wanted to cause all of Israel to sin, and he succeeded in causing 24,000 to sin, all of whom were reincarnations of Shechem, and they were reincarnated in the students of Rabbi Akiva, who did not treat each other with respect, and because of this they died.

And so the parsha speaks of Serach the daughter of Asher, who also merited to enter Gan Eden with her body, in the merit of announcing to Yaakov "Joseph is still alive and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt and he has two sons, Menashe and Ephraim" because anyone who dared to announce to Yaakov that Joseph was alive after 22 years, when Yaakov sat in sackcloth and ashes on the ground, as it is said "And Yaakov tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days", "and his father wept for him", because anyone who dared to announce to Yaakov after 22 years that Joseph was alive, was immediately in danger of death, because even a small displeasure from Yaakov our father, peace be upon him, would immediately turn a person into a pile of bones, like the displeasure of Rabbi Yehuda on that woman who mocked Shmuel, Nedarim 50b: and like the displeasure of Yaakov on Rachel our mother, peace be upon her, who said whoever finds your gods shall not live, and she died that year, so that even the smallest displeasure of Yaakov our father, would immediately cause death, and therefore no one dared to announce to Yaakov that Joseph was alive, for fear that he would die, until Serach the daughter of Asher came, and entered with song, dance, and joy, and sang "Joseph is still alive, he is ruler over Egypt and has two sons, Menashe and Ephraim", and through this she sweetened everything and remained alive, and entered Gan Eden with her body and lives forever.
