The heathen prophet Bilaam’s unique talent and prophetic edge was in knowing the precise split-second when Hashem’s attribute of judgment is awakened. He sought out this fraction of a second, so fleeting that it could not be measured, in order to utter his curses with greatest effect. But his curses turned to blessings, and his words became conduits for Divine light. In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder the timeless, and very contemporary, lessons learned from the manipulative spiritual paganism of Bilaam, who sought to weaponize Divine power for self-serving purposes. _________Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow:PayPal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.
