Portion Balak in USA

Portion Balak in USA
 
 
 
 
As Rabbi Carlebach used to say (and teach us to appreciate) , "what do we know"?
 
Only when Pinchas the grandson of Aron stood up to those Misleading from Within the Israelites
 
He knew the Inspiration of Evil was from Without
 
But just as we see in 
 
Portion Balak and Portion Pinchas
 
While the vile plots of Bilam and Balak we're uncovered ,
 
Their righteous gret great granddaughter Ruth
 
Still was sent to be the great grandmother
Of King David!!!
 
 
And other Righteous Gentiles and Converts?
 
In The Talmud in
Ketubot page 6,
 
Is the story of
Heleni Hamalka the Queen
 
Who promised a vow of a Nazirite for
7 years IF 
her son return ed safely from war ...he did,
And she did it.
 
But when she later moved to Israel
The Rabbis ordered
Another Nazarite Vow 
And she complied
 
 
 
Written in Florida and Texas
Sorry for the rush
 
Shabbat Shalom
