Chutz LaAretz -Back in sync with Pinchas -but, sixth perek of Pirkei Avot
Which came first? The chicken...
Or the egg? Forget about that question now - the wording of the title was
only to get your attention. The "which came first?" issue here is between
the 17th of Tammuz and Shabbat Parshat Pinchas. The fact is that in some
years, Parshat Pinchas precedes the Fast of the 17th of Tammuz (10.5% of
the time), in most years Pinchas is after the Fast (79.5% of the time, 2, 4,
or 6 days later), and the other 10% of the time, Pinchas in Eretz Yisrael is
on the 17th of Tammuz, but a day
before the fast, and in Chutz
LaAretz, Pinchas is 7 days after the
17th and 6 days after the fast.

The statistics just recorded were
meant to satisfy stat-heads and to
merely make the point to the rest of
TTreaders that Pinchas is read right
before or after Shiv'a Asar b'Tamuz.
But it is not all of Parshat Pinchas
nor all of the 17th of Tammuz that is
the point here - it is one aspect of
each. The same aspect - namely,
the Korban Tamid. Specifically, the
mitzva of the Daily Sacrifices in
Parshat Pinchas and the tragedy of
the cessation of the Tamid - cont. p.10
