Pinchas
Parshat Pinchas is a “power parsha”. So much happens in it: the end of the story of Pinchas’ murder of Zimri and Cozbi, the new census (39 years after the first one), Zelophehad’s daughters’ advocacy for their inheritance, Moses preparing for his succession and God’s choosing of Joshua, and prescriptions with respect to observation of the Tamid, Rosh Chodesh, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and all the Pilgrimage Festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot including Shmini Atzeret).
