Balak: Torah 40

The rabbis suggest the Balaam could have revealed the God of Israel to the nations, but he decided to use his prophetic gift for personal gain. What do we learn from Balak's view of Israel? How does this portion speak into our modern lives? We consider this, and much more in this episode of Messiah in Life! Give a listen!
