The opening of this shiur, in Zera Shimshon’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

uh and very soon um so this week's parasite is filled with great opportunities great stories um and the first one I think we should do is one of the Brotherhood and I think this one I like this one a lot uh because it has a very important lesson about how we raise our children even though he doesn't directly talk about it but it uh to me I believe this one is a really amazing one about teaching us a lesson about how we should raise our kids uh and also how we should speak to people in general people in general a man uh so the the Torah dollar the four Torah of uh so in um it says so it says how can I curse uh God is Not cursed how can I anger Hashem is not angry that's uh the beginning of bilam's set of um curses blessings whatever you want to call it uh depending over us most likely it's uh depending over us most likely it's gonna be he tried to curse uh and he uh says it starts like this so um so um so he says Marco how can I curse if this how can I curse God is Not cursed and how can I curse God is Not cursed and how can I anger Hashem never gets angry right so we can't curse that which Hashem has not cursed so therefore bilam is basically saying that I'm not going to be really successful in what I'm doing so the first thing the zerosham says is right so hirashi says if we look at Rashi there which is an interesting uh he starts off he says when they were ready when they were worthy quote unquote of being cursed they didn't get cursed upon
