>Overcoming obstacles is a struggle, but we are meant to be bold, daring and strong to overcome the challenges we face in serving Hashem. When we ask for Hashem’s help in our struggle to serve Him properly, He will help us even if we think we do not have the talent or the skills to succeed. As Rabbi Frand points out, life is like a moving escalator. If we struggle mightily to run up, we may reach the top. If we stand still, we will invariable be carried down

>Rabbi Scheinerman notes that honor is not up to us. While everyone is due respect, for we were all created for a purpose, Hashem gives each of us our moment to shine, to get the honor he needs when he needs it. Hashem wanted Pinchas to get this blessing of permanent priesthood, and so He caused Moshe to forget the halachah. Hashem orchestrates everything with purpose

>The Torah teaches that everything has a purpose, a philosophy diametrically opposite that of the worshipers of Baal Peor. They had a fatalistic attitude toward the world and toward life. This philosophy they expressed in their worship ritual, explains Rav Hutner. It doesn’t matter what is, what exists, what is eaten, what is produced – it is all worthless and turns to excrement. But we know that even excrement can serve a purpose and be used as fertilizer

>Rabbi Uziel Milevsky, the Ner Uziel, brings a very unusual perspective to the actions of Zimri. We know that the leaders of the tribes were men of very high spiritual caliber. For one to act so brazenly must therefore be examined with the possibility of a different motive. Rabbi Uziel suggests that Zimri had a vision of elevating all the nations, and living with all religions being equal in front of Hashem. While his name Shelumiel is recorded as the chief of the Tribe of Shimon at the beginning of the census, here he is called Zimri, a branch that will be cut off

>6. Ritual Defecation Mentioned in the Mishnah and the Gemara of the Talmud and the Ugaritic marzēaḥ

>The second century CE64 Mishnah Sanhedrin 7:6 mentions the following ritual action, “the one who uncovers himself (= defecates) before Baʿal Peʿor” הפוער פעור לבעל עצמו) hpwʿr ʿṣmw lbʿl pʿwr)–this is how one performs an act of service to it.” The commentator on the Mishnah, Pinhas Qehati, explains that the phrase designates the one who defecates before the idol of Baʿal Peʿor. This Mishnah states that even if one indulged in an act of derision by defecating in front of Baʿal Peʿor, it would still be considered as an act of idolatry because ritual defecation in front of this divinity was part and parcel of the way this god was usually worshiped

>The Babylonian Talmud (b. Sanh. 64a)66 presents a long discussion about the different ways in which idols and pagan gods are worshiped. It relates a story told by Rabbi Yehuda in the name of Rab about a gentile woman who, in order to find help for her sickness, vowed that if she recovered in gratitude she would serve every idol. She recovered and went to serve all idols. On reaching in front of Baʿal Peʿor, she asked its priests how should she proceed in order to worship this god. The priests instructed her to eat beets (or beet leaves, which induce bowel movement) and to drink strong wine and then to defecate צואה (ṣwʾh) in front of the idol. Finding this manner of worship repugnant, she preferred returning to her sickness than worshiping this god, saying, “I would rather fall sick again than serve an idol in such a manner.”
