Get StartedJUNE 27, 2023 - Chukat-Balak: Talking Donkeys, Invisible Angels, and the Tree of Knowledge (Part 22 of 33)
Season Two of Into the Verse, Exclusive Content for our Premium Subscribers
From a prophet-for-hire, to a talking donkey, to an invisible angel, Parshat Balak sports quite the interesting cast, but all these characters seem to be one hit wonders. It seems like Parshat Balak is almost entirely unrelated to the rest of the Torah and the Torah would be perfectly complete without it. But what if Parshat Balak is really the sequel to a much earlier story in the Torah?
Join Rabbi David Fohrman and Tikva Hecht as they follow a road from Balak all the way back to the Garden of Eden.
