Balak (Numbers) B’Midbar 22-25

Torah Portion:  Balak (Numbers) B’Midbar 22-25

Haftorah Reading: Micah 5:6-6:8

Tonight we study the Torah portion named Balak, after a Moabite king. It is the only Torah portion we study that is looked at through the eyes of non-Jewish people.  As you know, the setting takes place very near the time Israel enters the Land in an area geographically just across the Jordon River from what is now Israel.
