When to be brazen | Parsha with the Chief: Pinchas

When to be bold, and when to be gentle? When to challenge and when to pacify? When to speak up, and when to step back? These are some of the trickiest questions we face in leadership, parenting, business, and everyday life. In this shiur on Parshat Pinchas, Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein explores the tension between moral courage and emotional sensitivity—between boldness and humility. Drawing from the story of Pinchas, the mishnas of Pirkei Avot, and the teachings of the Tur, Rambam, Sforno, Rabbeinu Bachya, and others, the Chief Rabbi shares a powerful roadmap for navigating complex human relationships. It’s not about being right.  It’s about doing what’s right - with conscience, compassion, and the courage to act from a higher place.
