Description

The Gemara in Brachot 7a indicates that there is a daily moment of Divine Wrath. Is the daily fraction of a second of "Za'am" productive or merely destructive? What was the source and nature of Bilam's ability to curse, and why was he unsuccessful in our Parsha? How did Bilam know that the immorality of Shittim would bring the downfall of the Jewish people? How did Pinchas succeed in saving the People of Israel? In this Parsha/Hashkafa shiur we will address these, and other questions.
