Question of the Week - Parshat Balak

Part of the Question of the Week!

Today, we are releasing the second Question of the Week! The prize this week will be a 20$ Gift Certificate towards Sefarim (Jewish Books) at Nehora.

How did Bilaam attain the level of prophecy? First of all, we see he was not Jewish, and prophecy (according to the Kuzari) is attainable only by Jews! Second of all, we clearly see he was not righteous since he wanted to curse Klal Israel!
So how can some like him get to prophecy?

In order to enter the raffle for the prize, you must answer the question of the week by commenting on this post. If your comment is very long, you need to divide it in a few comments or else you will get an error message! Your answer can be anything thoughtful. If you think the question is stupid , explain nicely and logically why you think so, and it will count as an answer.
Your answer must be in by 2 pm Israel Time on Friday. You must include your email when commenting or your answer will not be considered (We need to know how to contact you!). For more information, click here.

This week’s question is sponsored by Nehora Books and Judaica Gifts, the largest Jewish Bookstore online for the biggest selection of rare and new Jewish Books, Sifrei Kodesh on Torah, Talmud and Kabbalah.
