In this week's Torah portion....
Balak was afraid
He thought the Jews were too strong
he wanted a curse.
He summoned Balaam
a well-known prophet, to curse...
Balaam wasn't sure.
God said "don't curse them"
But after a lot of cash
God told him "go on."
Balaam rode his steed
(it was really a donkey)
an angel stopped him.
Finally Balaam
realized what was going on
and apologized.
But the angel said
"Go on, but say what I tell."
So Balaam went on.
Balaam overlooked
the tents of the Israelites,
he had to bless them.
"How fair are your tents,
O Jacob, your dwelling-spots!"
(It was a great line!)
Moral of the story: Always listen when your donkey speaks to you.
Shabbat Shalom from OSRUI!
