Parshat Nitzavim: How To Make Sense Of The Terrible Curses?

Check out more Torah videos at www.alephbeta....
Last week, we found that to understand God's curses at the end of the Torah, we have to follow a trail all the way back, to Creation, and the Garden of Eden.

Perkie avot says, " who is a rich man one who is happy with his lot." When we focus on what we do have instead of what we don't have, that is where the joy and gratitude is.

@StormBlack-m3m Thank you

Wow. Thank you so much! What a blessing just to hear this.

Like from the Exodus story, even in curses God lays down an opportunity for repentance. Some of us need to lose everything to appreciate what really matters.

[@processandbeing]

Amen. That's what hit me recently in Genesis 3:17-19. "Cursed is the ground because of you" because my compassion is a shield deflecting the punishment you deserve. "It will produce thorns and thistles but" that's no good for you so stay away from them and "you will eat the grain of the field." And "by the sweat of your brow shall you eat food until you return to the earth for out of it you were taken for you are dust and to dust you shall return" So, Adam, remember the breath your God has placed in you. Remember where you came from and are going and now are apart from Him so that you can return to the ground and be made new in this moment - in any moment - and stop toiling for each bite of food. Enter the land of Goodness and Enough.

Such a great insight that this came from humans defining good and evil rather than God

As a Christian, thank you for helping me understand Galatians 3 where Paul says "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law" in a way that promotes satisfaction with God and kindness toward people (ala R. Hillel and Jesus) rather than the sadly too-often-repeated notion of God being unfaithful to His word and people. He is so good. May his name be sanctified through your work and in your lives. ❤

You nail it hard . 😭 forgive me Father for being so selfish

This Torah portion carries a profound message for all of humanity: the Torah was intended for everyone, not only for the Jewish people, as some might think. HaShem created us all, and entrusted the Jews with the responsibility of safeguarding and sharing the wisdom of the Torah, thereby preserving the world. This is so that we may all work together to free ourselves from the negative influence of society's prevailing mindset. I hope we can all awaken, embrace goodness, set aside ego, and, through that, bring forth the arrival of the Messiah.

This is beautiful. Why then do I see on the news and in other documentaries that there is no sharing with your neighbors, the Palestinians? There seems to be barricades and roadblocks?

[@jimjames8501]

I'll give you an easier question, explain the meaning of cutting off the legs of the snake? that's easy.

[@Chanaaaaa442]

Simple… snake in the story is not really snake, it is written that it was creature that had legs and was erected.. he even spoke .. after a curse it became animal who crawl and eat dust

How do you comment on anything when you can't explain what is the tree of knowledge of good and evil?

[@na-dm6jb]

You,missed the point

[@jimjames8501]

@@na-dm6jb Don't think so.

recognition of the good comes from the knowledge of the good. read plato

Crist, jesus, it's Pagan names, property of Rome / the catolics !!!

[@zaagezint6683]

I do not agree with this interpretation of the story. To begin with, you state that Chava declared the tree as good, but who said the tree was not good? G-d declared all of the creation good. Adam and Chava were supposed to eat from it.G-d was giving them the choice, "Don't eat from this tree and live, or do it from it and die." Though there is the moral implication of the lecture here, I do agree with that :)

[@UnderPresser]

Please stop that thing where you say a Torah passage in Hebrew and then in English. It's pretentious and serves no purpose since most who are watching this do not speak Hebrew. We wouldn't be watching this if we didn't trust your English translation of the Torah.

[@Cyberchic2]

Wrong! Take your whining elsewhere.

[@jaketanur]

Thats actually an insane thing to say
