Baalam's "Believe It Or Not" Dear Rabbi Kaplan, you have opened my eyes even more today, and my passion for Hashem, blessed is He, is increasing! Thank you for such teaching. Every day I am more, and more grateful. Reply
Balaam believe it or not hahahhah RT @MendelKaplan "...and they went back to their good old fashioned way of sinning.." Reply
Balaam; believe it or not
Brother Mendel, I reaaally love this video, as I do most of your videos and I quite agree that no one, even G-d wants to be manipulated, but contrary to your concept that G-d doesn't want to be pyscho analyzed, Jeremiah 9:24 actually states that G-d want people to know and understand him. You also implied (at 00:40:20 of the video,) that a proper Jew worships Hashem just because thats the right thing to do; then again in Deut 29:9 G-d pitched the worship of him was unto the end that "you prosper in all you do" also in Joshua 1:8, this is seemed reiterated, that the worship of Hashem was unto the end that we "prosper and succeed in all" we do. I don't claim to know every thing, but I think that it is proper to worship Hashem even if its for nothing else except prosperity; I maybe wrong though.
I really wish you had a twitter account, I would have loved to follow you. Till we meet again,....

Balaam's Believe it or Not
I appreciate this video, especially the part where you use the term "Psychoanalysis" . I think it is the most accurate term for what you are explaining and I would like to say that the spirit of Balaam is alive and active,although sick just as you explained.
Shalom,

Rabbi Kaplan
What a profound and interpretive lecture. You took the words of Balaam right out of the Torah and brought them to life.
Thank you for another wonderful lecture. You were fantastic and so inspirational. You were beyond awesome!
Whoever said they "could not hear you" must still be on the mountain where Balaam and Barak were standing!
