Balak: The Power of Perspective

Introduction

From the moment Parshat Balak opens from the viewpoint of King Balak of Moab, it is an exploration of the power of perspective. The potential and danger of seeing something from the outside, and the challenge of only seeing part of things are only two of the points of wisdom this amazing parsha offers us. Listen now to Rabbi Mike Feuer in the week’s Pardes from Jerusalem.
