I just listened to your message about Jews being crouching lions. In Africa, a cat crouches just before pouncing, not a relaxed or docile position at all. It's actually a term for "Potential" energy. A very empowered position. With that definition of "crouching" does Bilaam's message change somewhat?
Have a beautiful day

I write with gratitude to thank you for all your wonderful shiurim
which I have the privileged to listen to most weeks from the Tuesday
class and anything in between. For so long they have been the source of
chizuk in personal and family situations and I am grateful that you have
given your time and kochos for Klal Yisroel One of my favorites which I
have listened to many times is a Lech Lecho which you gave some years
ago in a class room setting.
There was one point in this weeks shiur on Balak which confused me. You
mentioned that you had read The Tattooist from Auschwitz last Shabbos.
I had thought that reading books not Torah literature was not allowed on
Shabbos and many years ago weaned myself of it. I would be grateful if
you could clarify the halocho.
With grateful thanks for the years of inspiration.

WOW What a life saver shiur
I just finnished to listen, one can't live life without your shiurim, considering all of the struggles life brings.
It's so powerfull, and change the whole way of thinking, and teaches us how to be a true jew.

Burden?? Why for this particular portion? What about all the others?
I heard once that it would have been a great burden upon jews to mention and remind to themselves -twice a day- what a non jew sees that jews often forget..... Or refuse to see for all kink of reasons. Call it the burden of shame?
It would have then probably insidiously provoked the opposite effect of what the rav suggests here we should understand fron this benediction.
Thanks again and again for this wonderful synthese of ideas, for the heart the rav puts in it, for the passion of sharing a beleive, a way, an ideal, a vision.
As much as it strengthens the speaker, it strengthens the listeners a geat great deal.
לך בכוחך זה,. והושעת
ברכה והצלחה
Deborah
