Portion Of Key Tavo - talking blessings curses and a Torah Carved in Stone (and in our SOULS)

In this week's portion G-d tells Moshe to tell the people 
"G-D SAYS CARVE a copy of the Torah IN STONE -
write it AT THE TOP OF THE SHECHEM MOUNTAIN"

Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach used to teach -
what it says in the Torah - WE HAVE TO DO

SO 

CLOSE YOUR EYES - and
Listen to MOSES TALKING -

AND WATCH all those thousands of workers setting up stones and carving the words of the Torah on the mountain.
where are the stones today - when the Arabs are even destroying any artifacts on our Holy Temple Mount -

the WORDS " carve it in stone" must echo to us

But this Portion also has the curses - carried out at the time of the Second Temple destruction - 

what would Reb Shlomo say?
I remember he said -
Key Tavo - curses NOT set in Stone - happiness set in Stone

Rabbi Mendele Vitebsker always wanted that Aliyah -
he was not well-
but Reb Mendele said
"in the sickness described in the Torah - is hidden 'THE HEALING qualities ..."

This is our TORAH - all hidden blessings!

So open your hearts -

a regular Torah is written on skins of kosher animals - softened to accept the ink-
BUT the TORAH in STONE
(I believe) IS IN EVERY STONE OF THE HOLY LAND!

REB SHLOMO USED TO SAY
" TELL THE WORLD - that the TORAH is CARVED in STONE on the Shechem Mountain-" 

for hundreds of years it was visible- 

but now WE must remind the world that the Shechem Mountain was BOUGHT by our forefather Jacob and our 4 foremothers and the 12 tribes!

To tell us and all the world about the hidden blessings in everything from G-d! 

Let it be written gently in our softened hearts like a PARCHMENT Torah -
so that it will be strong as STONE - for the world to "see" and understand!

Shabbat Shalom from Israel
