Balak 5785

[Music] paras bollock again one of the you know what happens in these paras sometimes is upsetting but bolock is a great para these paras are packed so we have in this para para is bolo the story of bum and his attempt to curse cloud Israel and bum is a paradigm or an example of personification of a rotten person you know talk about a person who has very bad meters and all the bad meas that's personified by bum the says Anyone who has these three traits is a and three opposite types of characteristics is a what are they? If a person has an invo which means a person is generous of spirit. He's happy when other people have success. He is what we say in Yiddish. He forg you know you have it great. I look at that with an eye in that's a very humble person. Humility means that he's satisfied with anything. He doesn't have to have the he doesn't have to have the great luxury was a wealthy person but he was half happy with the minimal all any person that has these three traits he can call himself I'm emulating a raino on the other hand I raw person who's stingy who's jealous of other people can't stand when other people have more just an eye. That's iron raw buoya. And he was a he's a Bulgiva arrogant type of person. When Bolock sends him uh an accompiment of people to to bring him to to Bolock, no, this is not a good enough entourage for me. I need somebody better. What ages is nothing's ever enough for him. When Bulock offered him x amount of money, he says, "Well, even if you give me a houseful of money, hint hint." So these three things are the opposite of of Afraino. So, so, so we find in the para what happens in the parha. So, Bill goes ahead and tries to curate claw Israel. So, what happens? He's unsuccessful. So the says, [Music] "Let's go to a different place." Your claw wasn't successful here. Let's go to a different place. The claw wasn't successful in a different place. So what does the Pik say? Let's go to a different place. Where does that come from? That comes from because if you're a Balkya, it's never my fault. If the curses aren't working, it's because the place is not appropriate for this. So, I can't be wrong. I cannot fail. I'm Bum. You know, I'm the greatest cursor that's the world has seen. They said they hired me for this. Says M something else because you're a farengiva. You're an arrogant person. That's bum. What do you find by Afro? Listen to this gimmar. beautiful gar of there's a of the same place in the d in the same place always and if a person does such a thing when he dies when a person is like that is going to help us feel And when that person was he's always he's now why is he so theor says is because after prayed for and he wasn't successful what does the sayashkim a What happened to he wasn't successful for you know what he went back to the same place that he ded that's how we know that was a you know what that is indicative of that you're not agu that who says, "For what am I? I'm mere the dust of the land." A person who's not about says, "If it doesn't work, it's not somebody else's fault. It's not the place's fault. It's not the weather's fault. It's not any's fault. It's my fault." And therefore a person should be and when you do when you are such a person we praise you and say you're a that's the contrast between bilan and and afraino between the arrogant BGA and the humble human being that you're willing to go ahead and accept responsibility for your failures. Don't try to pin it on something else. Therefore, bum when he wasn't successful, okay, let's change places who wasn't successful, he went back to the same place. The difference between agiva and balanova.
