[Applause] it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly Torah lesson here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi megawatts welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is passion but luck the question of the week is how can we protect ourselves against our enemies so in this week's Torah portion Pasha's well look we learn about bollock hiring Balaam to curse the Jewish people now we know Bill I'm trying to destroy the Jewish people and another famous person I'm awake to people try to destroy the Jewish people so the question is how do you overcome bilham animalic so the Rebbe brings down a based on a teaching or a pear sauce the problem that there's another two words in in in in the Torah which we have as Commandments from God and that is called bureau to be in awe and to be accepting of God and Alba in love of God and what's interesting is if you take the word Balaam and you take the word I'm awake and you put them one on top of the other so knows you do am awake if you read horizontally if I'm awake and then it's bill um and then if you read it vertically as well you also have bill um and just bilham's on top and then you go take the first two layers of bill on basel ahmud the first two letters of i'm more like IMM you have bill um and you think the last two letters of bill um i in them and the last two letters I don't know like you have more like as well so in the Box you can you mean vertically or horizontally both ways you'll get Bill o manimala either way let's look at the words gyro and alva the same thing also if you line up nearer across our cross and you go across you have you right now but if you go down and you'd race from the first line and Alipay from the second line it first to your viewer and you also have Ava so the Rebbe explains based on is teaching that the way to come back bill Amanda Malik which represents our enemies is by your assertion to being an all and accepting of God and loving God what the right points are very interesting is if you put AB on top of euro you won't get the same combination the only time you get the combination is what when you put Nero first in other words you first have to accept once you accept and then you love that's the key to overcoming all our enemies so the answer the question how can we overcome our enemies by accepting and God having true respect and all for God and that obviously creating a loving relationship with God this will give us the power to overcome all of our enemies this week's Torah lesson is a memory of Barack Benari allayed and vinyasa may the soul be elevated by the tour we're studying in the remember thanks so much for joining us for our weekly Torah lesson for more information please see our website [Music]
