The Shmuz Live 47- Bilam and the Unbridled Love of HASHEM

The episode of Bilaam and the donkey is often viewed as something comical. Bilaam’s donkey won’t move, Bilaam gets angry and the two of them have a conversation about it. A man arguing with his donkey isn’t exactly an everyday occurrence-why doesn’t he stop and acknowledge the outright miracle that he’s experiencing? And whilst this may be a humorous part of the parsha, if you fail to see beyond the pshat you’d be missing an incredible life lesson. You see, it often happens that we go through stuff, and don’t see the reason. In fact, we might even get upset, annoyed or even angry at Hashem when things don’t turn out the way we want them to. So what’s a better way to cope with the curve balls of life? In this straight-talking shmuz, I’ll be giving clear direction on how to maximize moments of frustration into opportunities for everlasting growth.
