parashat BalakThis parashah contains what may be the only comic passage in the Torah. It tells how Balaam, reputedly the world's most powerful wizard, cannot find his way out of his own neighbourhood, and how his attempts to curse Israel are turned into blessings in his mouth. The overall message, however, is a serious one: God continues to watch over Israel and extend divine protection to them, despite their recalcitrant behaviour and lack of appreciation. Human efforts to harm the people Israel will not prevail.
