Parshas Balak (5771)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

It is so striking how the absolute text of the Chumash gives a positive impression of Bilaam and Rashi consistently brings the Chazal to the contrary.  The great wonder is that Hashem Himself is the author of the Chumash and is the One that is giving the positive outlook and Rashi seems to be pushing to the negative.

The lesson is that the awesome, great darkness of the falsehood which we must overcome actually originates from Hashem and He expects us to overcome the darkness and to reveal the truth.

Have a wonderful Shabbos.
