In It to Win It
This week’s
parasha is Ki Tavo’. I chose to hone in on the verse Deuteronomy 27:9, which
states “Moses and the levitical priests spoke to all Israel
saying, “Silence! Hear, O Israel !
Today you have become the people of the L-rd your G-d.” Other translations have
it beginning as “Attend and hear, O Israel.” One may think that just by
being somewhere you’ll hear the speaker’s message. If that was true, standing
in a garage would make you a car. I feel that it is saying “Attend” meaning
hear with your heart and mind, as well as your ears. We must do the same in a
facets of life, in order to be compassionate and understanding children of
Hashem.
