Balak 5777 - The Prophet of the Nations - 1st Aliyah |
by Hauer, Rabbi Moshe |
Bilaam's prophecy is compared to Moshe Rabbeinu's. In this shiur we analyze the difference between Moshe Rabbeinu, the prophet of the Jewish people, and Bilaam, the prophet of the nations. A prophet is a representation of the people. A Jewish prophet is compassionate, and tries to prevent people from sin, as opposed to the prophet of the nations, who brings people to sin and is destructive. Moshe is a representation of the Jewish people, whose mission statement is the desire to go back to the days of Gan Eden. On the contrary, Bilaam is self-focused, and lives in a world of taking; he represents a people who live a life expelled from Gan Eden. |

Chukas- The Voice of Yaakov, The Sword of Esav- 4th Aliyah |
by Hauer, Rabbi Moshe |
In the 4th aliyah of Parshas Chukas, Moshe send messengers to the king of Edom, asking permission for Bnei Yisroel to pass through their land. This exchange begins with Moshe reminding Edom that we are brothers, and references the strength of Yaakov, which is in the voice of tefilah. Edom, a descendant of Esav, responds with reference to the sword of Esav, This happens right after Moshe hits the rock instead of speaking to it, which is as failure of the voice of Yaakov. We need to make sure to use our voice in tefilah, recognizing that what we have comes from Hashem, who responds to our voice. |
