Anger, Your Secret Weapon

Jobless for weeks, a man lands an interview during Sefiras HaOmer, with a half grown beard that looks odd. Then comes the question he was dreading: do you always look like this? Bilaam's power was knowing the one moment each day when Hashem is angry. When his curses fail, why does he switch to a plan of sin? And why does the Targum Yonasan say the people weeping at the Ohel Moed were saying Krias Shema? Anger is usually one of the worst middos, yet a Gemara in Berachos points to a place for it. It changes what you do the next time someone pushes on who you are.In the next two weeks, this podcast will be replaced by the new 'Prism of Torah' podcast and our brand-new website prismoftorah.com with hundreds of archived Devrei Torah.
