In this week's reading, Balak, we find the prophet Bilaam wanting to curse the Jewish people and not being able to. G-d changed his curses into blessings. We find a very deep evil meaning of Bilaam inside of each one of us and an interesting tool to prevent it.

This week's Torah reading relates the story of Balak and Bilam, how they tried to destroy the Jewish People by cursing them. However, only blessings came out of that. Within the blessings Bilam recites, he describes the Jewish People like a crouched lion. What can we learn from that?
