CHASSIDIC PEARLS BY RABBI LAZER BRODY Parshas Bechukotai
"You will eat your bread to satiety ... and no one will frighten you" (Vayikra 26:5-6).
The Torah's beautiful blessings are eternal. They are just as real today as they ever were.
HaShem grants us His solemn promise that if we observe His commandments and walk in the ways of the Torah, our lives here in Eretz Yisroel will be characterized by abundance and tranquility.
Apparently today's reality contradicts the Torah. The residents of Israel don't have an abundance of money and they're surrounded by millions of enemies. On the other hand, the Jews of the Diaspora are generally affluent and live without any significant threats. So how do we understand the Torah's blessing?
