Description
The Lubavticher Rebbe brilliantly delves into the difference of Balak's hate- much more political and security related, a rational hate, with Bilaams hate- a completely irrational and illogical hatred which is much more passionate and emotional. It was davka that which was transformed into brachot and prophecies of mashiach which will come from Hashem's "irrational" eternal love of Klal Yisrael. The Sfas elaborates on the inyan of the power of passionate love of Hashem to bring down blessing and the passionate hatred to bring darkness, this is our mission to overpower the hatred with passionate love. Amazing Kedushas Levi - the hatred of Balak was emanating from the fear of being inspired and "converted" by Klal Yisrael just like the Eirev Rav! Amazing Pshat in "they will devour us like an ox devours grass of the feild... The Tiferes Shlomo says their hatred was of our Koach heTefilah. We ended with the well known maamar chazal that sinai was the source of the hatred of the umot ha'olam, because Torah makes Klal Yisrael into builders. The nations of the world hate our ability to transform darkness and destruction into productivity and constructive progress.
