Weekly Torah Portion: Balak
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- The heathen prophet Bilaam specialized in locating and channeling G-d's momentary anger in order to achieve the curses by which he won his infamy. But what is G-d's fleeting wrath compared to His abundant and overflowing love which the nation of Israel is commanded to cleave to, be nourished by, to live by and to bless all nations by? Confronted with Israel's righteousness, Bilaam's curse had no purchase, and his 'special ops' mission on Balak's behest proved a total failure.

we before we judge can realise we can be a balak each day and at the same time condemn balak....hashem open our eyes to truly see ourselves and not to look on the wickedness of others and think hes so bad when we ourselves are doing the same...
Thank you, Rabbi. A thought about this Parsha cautioned me. Perhaps Baalim's first mistake was inviting Balaq's emissaries to stay overnight. He did that twice. We must be careful concerning who we allow into our homes and who we associate with.
A good eye + a meek spirit + a humble heart = Ahavah 💓
beautiful teaching
To all my BEAUTIFUL so called negro people throughout the four corners of the earth and others that TRULY cleave to us check out my music starting with TRUE KNOWLEDGE Shalom and MUCH LOVE
He was not an occultist. He was a prophet of YHWH and that's Who spoke to him and told him not to go with those men. Then he faces Maliach YHWH in the way when his donkey sits down. Same deity as Israel's deity.
True.
Thank you kindly, Rabbi.
Question: Where in Exodus 1 does it mention Bilaam (Balaam) as mentioned by the speaker here at 4:00mins?
Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi, with thanks for the gold nugget: exchange curses for blessings!
Most beautiful. Amen

My history of attempts at being a religious Noahide have always been defeated because of the absolute evil I saw it produce online. People that want to launch an insurgency, give a choice to leave, convert or die to Christians and polytheists when Noahides like me are in the vast majority, and to (not necessarily though I have heard it isn't a good idea from them) resist the urge to watch or play idolatrous things, etc.
I suppose that I should believe in it just as Noah had to do believe and do something that makes my situation look extremely easy. Everyone outside his family was destroyed. G-d seems to have had a higher opinion of animals than the absolutely wicked people who ate animals alive. They all died, no matter if they knew many of the pre-flood people and families that were destroyed, etc.
And, in the end, his line was all that was kept, and the covenant received by him is true for all living today, outside of the Jewish covenant it is the only way to be righteous before G-d. Israel is a priestly nation and they have the right to every spec of land in Canaan as G-d gave it to them. Afaik the Jews and the Palestinians are basically the same people, but after giving up Judaism, becoming part Arab and converting to Islam I don't know if they still count as technical Jews or just gentiles. None of my business I suppose, but the Jews of today are certainly in the chosen people of G-d. G-d, please bless Israel, the Jewish people, and make us your friends as one studies and the other follows. Baruch Hashem for making Israel already so mighty.

This is a discussion of God's Word, not a secular gentile poet!!!

Of course there are deep reasons for homophonic letters, especially in the Torah! Like a rainbow suggests white light too. Rabbi Opt had his optics right, as good as Scientist Schrödinger, who studied, deeply, the psychology of colour perception. It is not clear to me if he liked cats, but Rabbi Opt would love them.
My favorite
Thanks
