Now there's even more Torah to learn and explore!

Open the Parashat Balak (year 1) magazine to explore: Why was God angry with Bil'am? How are we supposed to treat animals? And why do we need to celebrate holidays at specific times?

Open the Parashat Balak (year 2) magazine to explore: Why did Balaam get so angry at his donkey? What does it mean that Israel are a people who are "alone"? And what is a hok?

*note that Balak in "year 2" was combined with Hukkat for a double parashah!

Open the Parashat Balak (year 3) magazine to explore: What's the connection between Bil'am and Avraham? Was Bil'am blind in one eye? And is God our friend?
