בס"ד
Anyone can be holy inside a temple. Priests do it all the time. What
impressed Bilaam more than anything about the holy Jewish people was that they
were holy even in their homes.
"How good are your tents, Jacob, your dwellings (or tabernacles) Israel ."
[Bamidbar 24:5]
Let us endeavor to channel this holiness – the one we are so distinctly
known for. How ? By dedicating a portion of all of our energies to service of
Hashem. When we say "thank you" we do it to increase shalom, Hashem's
presence. When we do an act of kindness, we do it in recognition of the divine
image that we were created. And obviously, when we bring Torah and Teffilah
into our homes and our daily lives – we are demonstrating that even after 3,500
years – if Bilaam were to see us now – he would utter the same blessings.
Hatzlacha !!
