The parsha reminds us that while global leaders shift, posture, and dominate the spotlight, HaShem’s word is steady and our true strength comes from our own avodas HaShem. Just as the Jews in the story were protected not through politics but through living modest, holy lives, so too our focus must remain on being the best Jews we can be, trusting that the larger outcomes rest with the One who never wavers.

In this week’s parsha, the story of Balak and Bilaam feels like it’s happening right now. An evil king hires a prophet with an ayin hara to curse the Jewish people—approaching from three fronts, just like today’s threats from Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. But every attempt flips into blessing, culminating in Mah Tovu, a reminder that our strength comes from seeing ourselves as one unified nation. Yet the parsha ends with tragedy: the Jews fall into division, temptation, and self‑destruction. The parallel is chilling. After October 7, we saw how enemies search for our weaknesses—and how unity protects us. This video explores why the real battle isn’t just external, but internal: choosing an ayin tov, resisting overindulgence, and refusing to see the worst in each other. If we want to break the cycle of Balak and Bilaam, we must guard our people—in word, deed, and perspective.

How to cure impurity today

A conversation about the Charedi draft made me realize how easily we slip into “me versus you,” forgetting that every Jew is family. In this week’s parsha, the nation mourns Aharon HaKohen because he reminded us to see each other with unconditional love. When we return to that vision of unity, we open the door for Hashem’s peace to rest on all of us.
