Welcome to the Schnim yomi. We are now
making our way through parasukas balok
and we enter the para of balok. The
story of bum the prophet who tried to
curse kra and hashem changed his words
to blessings three times. Now what's
fascinating about this para andamur
points it out is that this is the only
para in the entire Torah that we are not
witness to at all. Every other story
that happened happened to our fathers,
our forefathers. They saw it. They saw
what happened to Armis and Yakov. They
saw what happened in Egypt. They saw
what happened in the desert. The entire
story of Balok and Bum. The
conversations that they had, the
attempts to hire this prophet to come
curse the Jews. The way they built the
mis the different misbehos to bring
offerings to entice Hashem to allow Bum
to curse his children. The whole story
is all a story we never saw. And the
only way we know it is because Hashem
told us that. Why is it important for us
to have that in the Torah? And perhaps
one of the ideas might be is that Jewish
history is so much bigger than what we
see. We only see a small fraction of it.
You know, in in Tahim it says
all the nations, they're going to give
praise to Hashem when Msiah comes.
All the sovereignties, they're all going
to give him great praise
because his kindness was so great upon
us. What does that mean? Why are the
nations celebrating the greatness of
Hashem's kindness on us? It's because
the nations know so much more than us.
They know all the times they tried to
kill us. They know all the times they
they plotted nefariously to hurt the
Jewish people and Hashem somehow
uprooted their plots. We know of one
such story. We know the story of Bum.
And we only know because Hashem told us,
but there's really dozens and dozens of
of more stories like that. And the
nations of the world, they know that.
And they're going to give thanks to
Hashem for that when Msiah comes. But we
should live with that knowledge that
just like the story of Bum, there's many
more stories of Hashem working for us
behind the scenes, keeping his special
people protected in all situations.
