## Resource

This episode is a recording of a live Land of Israel Fellowship from June 28, 2026, exploring Parshat Balak. Can curses become blessings? In this week's Fellowship session, Ari Abramowitz uncovers the powerful connection between the story of Bilaam and the growing voices against Israel in our own day. Through the themes of blessing, covenant, replacement theology, and God's unwavering faithfulness, he reveals why every curse spoken against Israel ultimately becomes an opportunity for God's blessing to be revealed. From the hills of Judea to today's headlines, discover the timeless message of Parshat Balak and why embracing the "good eye" of Abraham remains as vital as ever.
