Parshas Balak: Greatness Without Goodness is Evil

Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on פרשת בלק. Discussed: The contrast between the reactions of Yisro and Balak after each heard the same exact news about Yitzias Mitzrayim, and how their reactions remain the theme of each of their respective Parshios. If as Chazal tells us, "Prophecy is one of the highest spiritual levels a person can reach", how did Bilam attain that level while being such a low and deplorable individual? The lesson that Hashem was showing the other nations by giving them such a powerful prophet like Bilam.
