{{pasuq| The LORD will cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thee |p/pt/pt0528.htm#7|Deut 28:7}}

This fantastic blessing depends on only one condition: '''And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all His commandments''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0528.htm#1|Deut 28:1}}. Not very complicated: just observe and do, and you will merit a blessing.

The opposite appears not far off: '''The LORD will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies'''{{hcite|p/pt/pt0528.htm#25|Deut 28:25}}, and its condition: '''But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0528.htm#15|Deut 28:15}}. Again, not complex: don't listen to Me, and you'll receive a curse.

Considering that which is happening in the Holy Land today, which path do you think we have chosen?

 This shabbat which is just before the new year 5769, I wish everyone find the relevance of the eternal Torah to his personal situation, through ongoing learning and examination.  Happy new year to everyone!

 If it had not specified the matter, we would tend to say that the Torah was given to that generation, and was fine ''then'', but isn't pertinent at all to us, today.  Like the ''clever'' words of the useless ones, "what used to be, forget it".
-The Torah comes and emphasises that the matter is not so -- rather, it is an eternal commandment to all the peoples of the world, and especially to the offspring of the Holy people, the Children of Israel -- upon whom God placed most of the commandments.  In every generation since then and until today, each Jew battles in his own manner to understand the Torah, and to lend its words relevance to his personal situation.  And the more one examines it, the more one understand just how deep the Torah's paths run.
