Not Reckoned Among the Nations (Balak, Covenant & Conversation)

Welcome to Rabbi Sacks' commentary on the weekly Torah portion. Chukat and Balak were a double parsha back in 2015 when Rabbi Sacks originally wrote the Ethics series and recorded the audio for Chukat. There is no recording available for Balak from the Ethics C&C series, so the Rabbi Sacks Legacy Trust has selected this piece, originally written and recorded by Rabbi Sacks in 2019, to share with you this week. You can find the full written article on Balak, "Not Reckoned Among the Nations" available to read, print, and share, by visiting: https://www.rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation/balak/not-reckoned-among-the-nations/ To read the Balak article later added by Rabbi Sacks to this series for the Ethics book, please visit https://www.rabbisacks.org/covenant-conversation/balak/the-curse-of-loneliness/ For more articles, videos, and other material from Rabbi Sacks, please visit www.RabbiSacks.org and follow @RabbiSacks. Covenant & Conversation is kindly supported by the Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation in memory of Maurice and Vivienne Wohl z”l.
