פרשת בלק - סוד החוצפה

The Enigma of Balak and Bilam At first glance, Balak appears to be acting out of fear—summoning the infamous sorcerer Bilam to curse Bnei Yisrael in anticipation of an impending war. But a closer look at Bilam’s third prophecy reveals that the Jewish people were peacefully encamped, showing no sign of aggression or military preparation. So why was Balak truly afraid? Chazal offer a deeper explanation: Balak's fear was not rooted in the present, but in the distant future. According to the Midrash, his anxiety stemmed from a prophetic glimpse into the rise of King David, a descendant of Ruth the Moabite—Balak’s own lineage. If so, why didn’t he simply prevent this future by refusing to have children? Why does the Torah devote an entire dramatic episode to a perceived threat that wouldn't materialize for generations? Join the shiur, as we uncover the hidden dimensions of Parashat Balak through the lens of the Zohar and the teachings of the Ari HaKadosh. Discover why Balak’s fear was more than political—and how it reveals profound truths about destiny, free will, and the soul of the Jewish people. Shiur is given by Rabbi Fridmann from Badatz Miami. www.badatzmiami.com
