Our Parshas begins with Hashem teaching Moshe the intricate laws of the Parah Adumah. The Parah Adumah is a red cow that was never used and is slaughtered as an offering. Then, it is burnt, and its ashes were used to rectify the most severe of ritual impurities, tum’as mes. This impurity is contracted through interacting with a human corpse.

Parshas Balak tells us the story of Balak and Balaam. Balak, the king of Moav, worried about his upcoming battle with the Jewish people. So Balak recruited Balaam, the famous non-Jewish prophet to curse the Jewish people, and hopefully defeat the Jewish nation in battle.

We learn how Hashem tried to hint to Balaam to do what is right.
