Portion Ruh Aiy - a month before Rosh Hashono
The portion brings us the word of G-d saying
" I set before you ... The Blessing ... and the Curse "
"! and as Rebbe NACHMAN says " the Blessings ALL come from Israel
And according to one Rabbi ( and thank you Sam for sending me his blog)
The blessing and the curse are Both – you guessed it – Israel!
Blessings for us because it was only OURS for three thousand years so far
And the Curse - that the nations of the world spend so much time and energy - and cash - trying to destroy us -
because we are the proof that they do NOT follow the ways of G –dliness (My interpretation)
They say we are a curse
Because they do Not Know How to create a world of peace and harmony
While the Torah does and says so in THIS PORTION:
"seek its Spirit " ( L shichno Tid re Shu) - and Rashi says it means the
Spirit of SHILOH- (where our Tabernacle stood 369 years!)
the Shiloh Civil War Battle certainly NOT
May we all learn to SEEK ITS WAYS of PEACE – starting this New Elul Month!
And prepare for a great new Jewish New Year in a month!
Shabbat Shalom
