Rambam on Teacher Accompanying Student to ExileThe Rambam explains that a teacher must accompany a student exiled for accidental murder because “life without Torah is like death”—learning Torah is essential to the student’s life. However, this seems to contradict the Gemara, which applies the halacha even to an unworthy student (תלמיד שאינו הגון). If so, the reason can’t be solely that Torah is essential to his life, since such a student may not be a true learner. This challenges the Rambam’s

Rashi sicha. Why Rashi Does Not Interpret “Mountain Peaks” Literally Like RambanRashi departs from the literal reading of the verse, which would suggest that Bilaam was physically viewing the Israelite camp from the tops of mountains and hills. Instead, Rashi understands “From the mountain peaks I see him, and from the hills I behold him” as metaphorical language, referring to the foundational strength and merit of the Jewish people — derived from their forefathers (mountain peaks) and foremothers
