Parshat Balak is highly unusual. On the one hand, it does not contain even a single mitzvah. On the other hand, it describes events that are supernatural and strange. Perhaps the most peculiar occurrence in the parasha concerns Bilam’s talking donkey, who engages in a heated conversation with the seer as he makes his way to Moav in order to curse the people of Israel. In this podcast, we will consider the matter. (Numbers 22:1 – 25:9)
