The Daily Study

The power of Modesty can turn a curse into a blessing. We learn this from the way the Jewish people camped out in the desert and how modest their tents were set up.

When Bilaam the sorcerer tried to curse us, he was not successful because we were operating from a place of Divine consciousness. If we get in touch with that side of ourselves and operate from it on a daily basis, nothing will be capable of triggering us.

Quickly catching up from missing out that last week was a double Torah portion week! (Depends on the year) so today we learn that when someone says something we have the power to interpret it to the best of our interest. When Bilaam tried to curse the Jewish people by saying they are like the dust of the earth, we can take that as a compliment and say that treasures are hidden in the dust.

Last week was a double weekly torah portion (parsha) so we are adding all the balak episodes faster than usual to catch up with the ACTUAL daily study so the we can be living with the torah. This portion talks about how Bilaam woke up early to curse the Jewish people but G-d did not allow him to.

Here we learn that evil cannot stand on its own. It is only created as a test to be overcome. When we are aware of the true nature of evil, it is much easier for us to resist it.

We learn here that our thoughts have an effect on the people around us and even more so when we are in leadership positions, which we all are whether we intentionally like it or not.

The Jewish people are one with Moshe & Moshe is one with them. This union is what bonded into one strong unit and gave them the ability to conquer Og, the King of the Amorites of Bashan.

Rejections are also a part of G-d’s plan. After getting rejected from multiple kingdoms, the Jewish People knew the only way to go was to connect to G-d and their higher consciousness. Human Intellect was not the priority for a time of Survival.

In today’s daily Study we learn the importance of maintaining our enthusiasm for the service of G-d so there will be no room for Amalek (negativity) to seep in!

The King of Edom refused the Jewish People into his territory, which in turn caused the Jewish people to make a detour on their journey. Moshe announced that this detour will not obscure the Jewish People’s journey, rather get them closer to fulfilling their Divine Mission.
