Rabbi Israel Yakobov continues his weekly class on the Torah portion with a deep Kabbalistic look at Parashat Balak. Discover the secret two-second moment of divine judgment that Bilam tried to exploit to curse the Jewish people โ and how God blocked him. Learn the hidden reason behind Pinchas’ zealous act, the Kabbalistic technique of “shrinking” a name or number to remove disease and negativity, and why using a person’s real name channels blessing into their life. The class closes with practical guidance on anger, laziness, the right time to recite Tehillim, and how to respond when someone’s words hurt you.
