The two Parshiot before Pinchas - Chukat and Balak - are often read together [in Eretz Yisroel only]. The two parshiot afterwards - Matot and Maasei - are almost always read together.

Well this is going to upset a few people.....
This is Rabbi Isser Weisberg, and he's basically validating the words of Rabbi Mendel Kessin regarding Trump.
"At the end of days....the older will serve the younger...."
Rabbi Weisberg titled this video "My Messiah, Donald" but I thought that title would be a bit mis-leading on a Geula blog, because Donald is NOT my Messiah..... but if you listen to this video, you will understand what he is saying.

H/t Shira
Jewish people have waited for the arrival of the Messiah for thousands of years.
Join Berel Solomon on an action-packed adventure to the land of Israel and beyond to find the Moshiach.
Amid the war in Israel and Gaza, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and the Presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, global unrest has made the world appear darker than ever. Some might think we're heading toward Armageddon, rapture, the end of days, apocalypse, the Day of Judgment, or the resurrection of the dead.
What is really going on?
Rabbi Lazer Brody - new shiur
Who is the Messiah? What will happen when the Messiah comes? Do we know when the Messiah will come? Watch and find out!

Update: This is a must listen shiur.
Please read the comments first, as there is a link to listen to it in English via AI, sent by Yisroel.
Someone asked me to help them watch this video with the sub-titles .... anyway I started to transcribe it, and so here is the beginning of the shiur transcribed, I will add more to it a bit later. To see the sub-titles click on the Settings cog and navigate to English and click on the CC.
Thank you to Dave for sending this link.

"The timeline of the Geula is going as scheduled. We have nobody to count on but our Father in Heaven. Once the majority will understand that - that's it. "
I hope the release of four hostages has given everyone some much needed chizuk.
I also hope that soon we'll all be celebrating like these guys were, when their friend returned from Gaza.
All over Sydney today, these amazing clouds. Everyone was trying to work out what they were... they are asteroid trails from close-passing asteroids. Seen it many times in photos from all over the world.

Jonathan ben Shimol interviews Rabbi Mendel Kessin
This is from a FB Reel which you can view here.
Shimol's questions are in Bold.
With Trump and Biden and craziness happening, what's really the message?
The bottom line is that G-d wants to dispel an illusion, He wants to show what evil is and where it could lead , and how far it could deteriorate mankind. Basically that's really a contest. The conflict between Biden and Trump is really the conflict between good and evil, each one representing a side. I believe Biden represents evil because of what he's done - the complete disregard of a human life, Fentanyl, the welfare of mankind . Trump represents good [although] I'm sure people will disagree. Trump has done a great deal of good for America. He vows to do good.
It is the contest between good and evil. That's the bottom line. They are both being represented by struggle. Good and evil - which one will flourish. Survive.
Where is Hashem's Hand in all this?
Well the Ribono Shel Olam is directing this. None of this could happen unless G-d allows it to happen. G-d wants to demonstrate that if He allows evil to flourish, how bad can it get? How bad is evil really? G-d is demonstrating that, He's saying to America and the entire world: "Well you can do whatever you want, I will stand back." And He does, and that demonstrates that if evil, if it is left on its own, will destroy mankind.
G-d is concealed, do we have to reveal Him?
Not only do we have to reveal Him, that's the whole point of His creating us - it's to reveal another reality besides the physical. There is a spiritual reality, that's the whole point of mankind. Labor toward meeting that particular insight.
Thank you, chazzak u'baruch.
Rabbi Shimon Kessin - this is a very important shiur, as he says, this is about Iran and current events
All over social media are posts and pictures like this
Of course it's propaganda, it's an AI generated image, designed to provoke outrage and more anti-Israel/anti-Jewish emotions around the globe.
It's another sign that Rafach is the main event here.
Everything has ramped up several notches in the last few days.
Contractions getting faster? I think so. What does everyone else think?
Text below was transcribed by Nava from the Dreaming of Moshiach Blog, in 2007.
This is exactly where we are now, in case you didn't realize. How do I know this ? Isn't it obvious to everyone? Just look at the insanity everywhere. Look at the aggression towards Israel and the Jews, even from their own allies. Look at the weather, the lies... we have all the signs. We just need to hang in there a bit longer.

Do things look normal to you? Uh-uh, none of this is normal.

Where is the red aura coming from? It's reflecting the sun, and whatever is behind the sun, causing the red. Or if you have a better explanation, leave a comment.
