Parsha Shiur | Rabbi Bayer on Parshas Balak

This week’s shiur explores the story of Bilaam and his interactions with Balak and the Jewish people, delving into themes of spiritual power, free will, and the lasting impact of prayer. Rabbi Bayer examines how pride and self-focus can distort one’s path, drawing lessons from Bilaam’s fall from grace and the story of his speaking donkey. The shiur includes insights from the Baal Shem Tov, Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, and other sages, offering powerful messages about spiritual awareness, Jewish identity, and the importance of stopping to reflect in moments of challenge. The video closes with reflections on Hashem’s love and the transformative power of heartfelt tefillah. #ParshaShiur #ParshasBalak #TorahStudy #JewishLearning #Bilaam #WeeklyParsha #RabbiBayer #dvartorah
