Shnayim Yomi - Balak - Rishon - #1- Rabbi Mordechai Lebhar

[Music] This week, Parashad Balak has tremendous lessons. the lesson of a a a dear nation of Israel. How dear it is to that they always have the and they will always be blessed and the of and all of those who are cunning and they have their different ways to try to harm us and they always fail. Timeless lessons. So let's get into it right away. So the first aliyah talks about how Balak sees how Israel is is being successful and all of a sudden he will try different methods to employ to make us fall. And the first one is that he is going to speak to and the the prophet of the nations that knows exactly how to harm Israel. And the p tells us something very interesting. This kahal is licking up is licking up everything like a shore like an ox licks up all the grass around him asks the elder brother that was in the early 1900s and how can it be that we're likening what is this comparison of a shore why not another animal so Rashi already tells us because Anything that a shore licks already doesn't see. What's going on over here is that Balak was referring to Israel that all of our spiritual accomplishments that we were able to attain during the time of and through purifying all of the sparks of during and during all all went away and set us back when we sinned byela was with the shore that is the the shore that we're that that is referring that balac is referring to over here that just like they sinned by and therefore their spiritual accomplishments reverted back says balac says balac we have an opportunity that they're going to try to get it back. Let's try to intervene. They're going to try to lick back all of their kadusha. So we have to know whenever Israel is on and up and they are trying to regain their we're always going to have forces of the to try to stop us. [Music]
