What does God require of you?
In this week’s Torah portion, Balak, we enter one of the most unusual and powerful stories in the book of Numbers — a king filled with fear, a prophet called to curse, a donkey that sees what the prophet cannot, and a blessing that no one can reverse.
Why was Balaam unable to curse Israel?
What happens when God has already spoken blessing?
And how does this story lead us back to the deeper question from the Haftarah: what does the Lord truly require from us?
We also see a glimpse of the Messiah through the promise that a star shall come forth from Jacob and a scepter shall rise from Israel.
Join us as we look at Parashat Balak and discover the warning, the hope, and the call hidden inside this powerful portion.
Scripture readings:
Torah Portion: Numbers 22–25
Haftarah: Micah 5:6–6:8
New Covenant: 1 Corinthians 1:20–31
