A rather pleasant surprise this past shabbat, parashat Pinchas. No criticisms of Orthodoxy or adulation of anti-Torah movements. Just a cogent analysis of Pinchas' behavior, coupled with an attack on intermarriage (okay, not exactly going out on a limb, but still, we're giving credit where credit is due). And all this, on a day when there was a large crowd in shul!
Are we witnessing the turning over of a new leaf? Only time will tell.
