[Avodah] mah tovu

[Saul.Z.Newman at kp.org]

on why it  is written chasser  ,  2 thoughts   one  i saw , one i'm 
thinking  about

1]   this  passuk is said on entereing  our  mkom  tfila.  since bilaam 
forsaw that  we would not  treat our shuls  with enough  respect  , 
therefor  chaser

2]   this bracha  folllowed   'vayar yisrrael shochen lishvatav '  . only 
then could  such  a  bracha follow [the one that bilaam never intended as 
a curse] 

but the former passuk implies  that   he saw shvatim with different 
drachim in yiddishkeit   living  in harmony.  since  bilaam knew that this 

is  something 

that jews  can not  tolerate , therefore  tovu is chasser  , since 
toleration of other yisrael's ohel will never  be  complete.....
