Subject: [b-hebrew] Why G-d became angry with Bil\am
First, I want to wish to all an easy fast and a most fulfilling and spiritual Yom haKippureem to those celebrating."As for the second question, why God first refused, then allowed Balaam to go? I don’t know either, and any answer I’d propose at this time will be speculation. I’ve puzzled over this many a time."

disapproves when he does go (22:22).:
