The 5,000-Year-Old Talking Donkey That Will Change Your Life | Parshat Balak

The 5,000-Year-Old Talking Donkey That Will Change Your Life | Parshat Balak

In Parshas Balak, Hashem makes a donkey speak, one of the strangest miracles in the entire Torah. But according to the Midrash, this was no ordinary donkey: it was the one created on the sixth day of Creation. This very donkey gave birth to a son, which became the donkey Avraham used for the Akeidah, the one Moshe rode to Egypt, and the one Mashiach will ride, a donkey that lived for thousands of years. Why did Hashem keep this donkey alive for thousands of years? Why was the miracle of the talking donkey so important that it was created during the twilight of the sixth day of Creation? And why, when Yosef’s brothers feared they would be taken as slaves, were they so worried about their donkeys? This week’s shiur explores these fascinating questions and reveals what your true goal in life really is.
