The Weekly Parsha
Midei Shabbos Beshabbato —
Selections by HaRav Eliezer Chrysler
The moment Pinchas’ mission came to an end, he cast the two
sinners down, and they died on the spot.
(Raising his eyes Heavenwards), he proclaimed before the Master
of the World, “Is it possible that on account of these, twenty-four
thousand people should die?’ Immediately, the Divine Mercy
enveloped Hashem (Kevayachol) and the plague was removed from on
the B’nei Yisrael!
THE LINGERING CURSE “Balak took Bil’am and he brought him to
Bamos Ba’al” (22:41). Later, he took him up to S’dei Tzofim, and
after that to the top of Pe’or. What did Balak see to take him to
three places, and to build in each place seven altars, on each of
which he brought a bull and a ram (forty-two sacrifices, all in
all)?
In keeping with the adage that G-d does not withhold the reward
from any creature, the Rosh heard the following: As a result of
these sacrifices, G-d decreed that forty-two people from Yisrael
had to die. Only Moshe prayed that it should not take place during
his lifetime. This was granted, and Moshe handed the tradition over
to Pinchas, who handed it to Eli, from whose hands it was passed
down to Shmuel, then to David, to Eliyahu and to Elisha, Eliyahu’s
disciple.
Elisha once went to Yericho, where the source of water was
infected, causing child-lessness. So he brought a flask containing
water and salt, which he poured into the infected water source,
which immediately became sweet (a miracle within a miracle).
Now, there were a number of youths in the vicinity who earned
their Parnasah by transporting water from other areas for the
inhabitants of Yericho. And when they saw how Elisha had repaired
the local source of water, depriving them of their income, they
followed him out of town, shouting “Get out, baldie, get out
baldie! Because you turned the place into a bald patch (leaving us
without Parnasah).”
Elisha turned round, and saw at a glance, that they were devoid
of the smallest Mitzvah, and what’s more, their mothers became
pregnant with them on Yom-Kipur. And it occurred to him that this
was a golden opportunity for the ancient decree to be fulfilled. So
he prayed to G-d to fulfill it. Immediately, two bears emerged from
the
forest nearby, and killed the youths, all forty-two of them!
THE WORD AND THE SWORD “If only I had a sword in my hand I
would
kill you” (22:29), said Bil’am to his ass. This was most
demeaning in the eyes of
Balak’s officers, comments Rashi. Here was a man on his way to
curse an entire nation, yet to kill an ass he required a sword!
The question arises, why indeed did Bil’am require a sword? Why
could he not kill his ass with the same curses that he intended to
utter against Yisrael?
The Ba’al ha’Turim resolves this problem in Pasuk 23, where,
commenting on the words “and Bil’am struck the ass with his stick,”
explains that he did not curse it because he had in mind to curse
Yisrael that day, and two curses cannot take effect on the same
day.
Besides, he adds, we know that Bil’am’s ability to curse was
confined to the one split second each morning, when the comb of the
rooster turns white, as Chazal have taught us. And presumably, that
was not the time of day on which this episode took place.
The second explanation would certainly explain the officers’
disgust. It would certainly cast grave doubts on Bil’am’s cursing
powers, if they were indeed so limited.
BIL’AM AND THE ROOSTER “And so says the man whose eyes are
closed” (24:3). The word for “man” that the Torah uses
here is “Gever,” which often refers to a rooster, the Ba’al
ha’Turim observes.
Indeed, he points out, there are a number of similarities
between Bil’am and a rooster: firstly, because Bil’am, just like
the rooster, which is the most promiscuous of all the animals, was
the most promiscuous of all men (even going so far as having
relations with his ass). Secondly, he had the ability to discern
the exact fraction of a second when G-d was angry each morning —
just like a rooster (whose comb turns white at that exact moment).
And thirdly, Bil’am, just like a rooster, stood on one leg (because
he was lame in the other one).

Chessed Committee We are looking to update our Chessed
Committee. The committee consists of shul members who can help
with meals for shul members in need because of illness, loss of a
family member, or birth of a child.
Your involvement can be for a whole meal or part of one.
Anything you can do will help our families when they are in
need.
If you would like to have your name added to our Chessed
Committee, please reply to Ester Gur at [email protected]
Thanks for your consideration!
Coming Up • August 4: Bar Mitzvah of Shlomo Pear.
Kiddush sponsored by his parents Dov and Karen Pear.
• September 1: Bar Mitzvah of Gavriel Perlman.
Summer Art Classes The shul is offering a summer art class
in
basic drawing for men and boys Wednesdays from 4:30 to 5:30 pm,
June 27-August 8.
Taught by Jonathan Raun, it is designed to improve technique and
the understanding of the drawing process.
For more information, contact Jonathan at 410-243-2691,
[email protected].
The Nancy Taffel Annex The Nancy Taffel Annex is now
available
for meetings, shiurim, and special functions. Please contact
Eileen Rosenbaum at 410-764-8443 or [email protected] to
schedule.
The Annex is not meant for heavy food events, children’s events
or unsupervised teen events. Anyone under 20 must be in the company
of an adult. Please leave the room in the condition you found it or
better. Thanks for doing your part to make our shul a wonderful
place to grow and learn!
For Our Loved Ones Who Are Ill If you have a loved one who is
seriously ill,
and you wish to have Tehillim recited on their behalf, please
contact Rena Levi, 410-358-4817. If, in the past, you have put
someone’s name on our Tehillim list and that person’s status has
since changed, please let Rena know so we can keep our list
current.
Our Women’s Tehillim group meets every Sunday morning from 10 to
10:45 in the Nancy Taffel Annex. Please join us if you can.
Mishnayos Mishna and Neshama have the same letters
and so are connected with each other. For this reason we study
Mishnah in memory of the departed, as a source of merit for their
souls.
We have a tradition each year of studying mishna in the memory
of Max and Zachariah Komet and all of our brothers and sisters
killed by terrorists in Eretz Yisroel. When all of mishna has been
studied we have a siyum. The deadline for finishing mishnayos is
fast approaching.
If you would like to be a part of this seudas mitzvah and help
to sponsor the siyum, please contact Moshe Cohen.

Focus on Tanach If you haven’t already signed up for a
parsha or book of Tanach, it’s not too late. We would like to
complete all of Tanach, as a community, with each family or
individual learning a book from Tanach or a parsha from the Torah.
There can be overlap, as long as we finish Tanach as a shul. To
join the other shul members, just pick a parsha. Once you’ve
decided on a parsha, sign up. Then take a Shabbos afternoon (or any
other time) to study it. If you want, we’ll even supply someone for
you to study with.
Yahrzeits Giving tzedakah in the name of the
departed has the power to elevate their soul. When you give
charity on behalf of your loved one, consider giving to Tiferes
Yisroel.
And may the soul of your loved one be bound in the bond of life,
together with the souls of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov; Sarah,
Rivka, Rachel and Leah; and together with the other righteous men
and women in Gan Eden.
