Parshas Balak: IT'S JUST BUSINESS

The Weekly Parsha - With Michoel Brooke

In this episode, we compare Avraham's zeal with Bilam's passion.
We also discuss whether passion for spiritual pursuits matches the intensity we often dedicate to worldly ambitions. Join us as we explore this profound question through Rav Moshe Feinstein's teachings, focusing on the striking contrast between Bilam's fervent journey to curse the Jews and Avraham's unwavering zeal to fulfill God's commands. In this episode, we uncover deep insights about the role of effort and dedication in Torah study and mitzvos, emphasizing that our spiritual commitments should ignite the same enthusiasm we display in our daily endeavors.
We then transition to the significance of hard work in Torah learning, comparing it to the discipline required in professional careers. Drawing inspiration from Avraham Avinu's commitment and the teachings of the Vilna Gaon, we discuss how treating Torah study with the seriousness of a nine-to-five job can lead to profound spiritual growth. By examining the parallels between seeking financial success and pursuing religious fulfillment, we inspire listeners to approach their spiritual journeys with the same vigor and determination. Join us for an enlightening discussion that will deepen your understanding and reverence for God.
