Portion of Balak and July 4th - Looking Inward or Looking Outward


What was the pirpose of the Declaration of Independence of the 13 American states?
Were the signers looking into themselves? Or to the world? Or both?

 American Independence Day - and the Blessing of 

 " How Goodly are
 your Tents oh Jacob - your dwelling places oh Israel"

The Torah teaches that

 Wicked Wizzard Bilam tried to curse -

 He only saw the
 tents - from outside the camp of Israel in the desert - and tried to focus on them -

 But he was FORCED
 (by the Almighty turning his attempts to curse
 into a CLEAR PROPHETIC VISION-)

to connect to the INSIDE goodness of Israel-

 whose only desire is to dwell peacefully

- and today

 Even in the (exploding) desert that is our world.

 Israel and peaceful dwelling

 is the hope for mankind -

 making the deserts bloom and helping to feed many all over the world

 America has been a major supporter of that dream -
 and
 we need to all strengthen that support of the
 prophetic vision of peace.

 The wizzard stuff and Bilam's donkey we can leave
 to Harry Potter...

 Shabbat
 Shalom

 Rabbi Andy
 Eichenholz






  we are commanded
  rav shlomo
 - the inside of the inside of what's in your
  heart



  bilam the evil sorcerer sees
 only

  How Goodly are your
 Tents oh Jacob
  dwelling plaes oh Israel

  he tried to curse - but even
 though he only saw
  the tents - from
 outside the camp of Israel in the desert -

 he was FORCED to connect to the INSIDE goodness of
 Israel-
  whose only desire is to dwell
 peacefully

  in the desert
 that is our world

  in
 Israel that is the hope for mankind
