➡️ Tuvia and Yitzi talk Parsha; Balak  פרשת בלק

This week we find the famous story of Balak calling over Bila'am in order to curse Am Yisrael, and Bila'am ends up Blessing Am Yisrael instead.  

As we know, these Blessings became an important part of our tradition with the Gmara suggesting we should say it every morning, together with Kriyat Shma'a (but rejects the idea for a technical reason), but part of them did find their way into our Siddur every morning.  

The big question is - what's so special about these Blessings? 

And even more so, we have to keep in mind who the person saying these Blessings is - it's the most wicked person that even the Gmara says - there's no end to the bad things you can say about Bila'am.  

So how did these Blessings end up becoming such an important part of our tradition and history??
