Parshas Balak

Liyluy Nishmas Elchonon Tzvi ben R' Yisroel Menachem..... In perek chaf beis posuk lamud gimmel the Malach Hashem said to Bilam "Va'tirani ha'ason vateit lifanay zeh shalosh rigalim oolay natsa mipanay ki atah gam oscha haragti v'osah hecheyeisi" "And when the donkey saw me it turned aside these three times , had she not turned aside before me as she did, I would have surely killed you and she, I would let live" Rashi explains that the malach was saying, because the donkey admonished you, and you were unable to withstand her admonishment, I killed her. For had I not killed her people would see her  and say, "this was the donkey that drove away Bilam with her admonishment, and he was unable to reply". Rashi continues that Hashem is makpid on human dignity, and that is why when a woman lives with an animal we are required to kill the animal, as well as the woman. The Rosh Yeshivah ztl brought out a tremendous yesod from this incident. Bilam was a tremendous rasha, he was a bum, and most probably a woman who lives with an animal is too. Why would the Torah care about their feelings, about their dignity? Furthermore, they brought this upon themselves, Hashem didn't want him to go with Balak's officers, and no one told her to live with an animal. Yet the Torah is telling us, how much Hashem cares about every human, how he goes above and beyond to minimize the embarrasment of even Rishaim gemurim. We must respect this innate dignity in our interactions with others, and be extremely careful about slighting another, no matter how much he "deserves it." Good Shabbos.
