Curse Me

 

Curse Me When בלק asked בלעם to curse the Bnei Yisrael, he said ארה *לי, "curse me*". Mori V'Rabi Harav Hagaon R.Shlomo.Miller Shlita said, In Parshas לך לך, Hashem said," ואברכה מברכיך ומקללך אאר I will bless those who bless you  and  those who curse you I will curse". בלק was aware of this, yet he still insisted on having the  Bnei Yisrael cursed. even though as a result of this,  בלק himself will be cursed.  The שונאי ישראל attempt to harm the Yidden even when  they know they are harming themselves & will lose out by doing so. At the end of the war, the Nazis ימ"ש, instead of using  their  trains for their war effort to save their own military, they used the trains to transport the Hungarian  Jews to Auschwitz. Even though בלעם blessed the Bnei Yisroel, he wasn't  entitled to be blessed because it wasn't him who blessed the Bnei Yisroel It was Hashem's Brocho coming out from Bilam's mouth.  *see Or Hachaim
