Is a promised reward necessary?
Superb talk. You have advanced my understanding of the biggest issues perceptably.
My question: I know I am here. I can feel the power of Ha Shem as embodied in the She'hechianu, and the responsability that goes with it, as told in the story about Reb Zusha, to be all that I can be. Isn't it enough to work to be worthy of G_'s gifts, including free will, whose realities hit me in the face every moment, without thinking there will be some kind of happy day reward, when the Moshiach comes and/or I die? Can't I work on stuff I can touch, and leave those other theings, which are beond our immediate knowledge, to G_?
Thanks.

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
