Pinchas: From Superheros to Real World Heroes — Pinchas and Elijah

Pinchas and Eliyahu are biblical figures who are rewarded for their zealousness.

Listen now to Rabbi Leon Morris in this week's Pardes from Jerusalem podcast on Pinchas. Credits: Larry Kluger – Creative Consultant Arlene Harel – Production Coordinator
