Happy New Year
News from Israel
i I have been recently in contact again
with Shalom, the Israeli pastor of Jerusalem,
Tel Aviv, and Rehovot. I was very happy to
get a short news from him saying the prog-
ress of our work in Israel: he said:
I am glad to keep in touch and to coop-
erate with you to advance the mission to
our brothers and sisters in Israel and in the
world. I am please to inform you that there
is a good progress in Israel in regard to the
Hebrew mission especially in the past two
years I am witnessing a growing interest
in the Adventist message in Israel. We are
continuing making Kabbalat Shabbath ev-
ery Friday evening and we have many times
Jewish guests from all over the world and
also local Israeli Jews. Tere is yet so much
to do and I will need all the help I can get.
Lets pray for the ministry in Israel especially
among Hebrew speaking people.

worlds seventy primary
languages. Half the tribes
will stand on Mount Ger-
izim, and half on Mount
Eval, and the leviim will
stand in a valley between
the two mountains. Tere
the leviim will recite 12
commandments and all
the people will answer
amen to the blessings
and the curses.
Moshe then details
the blessings that will
be bestowed upon Bnei
Yisrael. Tese blessings
are both physical and
spiritual. However if the
Jewish People do not keep
the Torah, Moshe details a
chilling picture of destruc-
tion, resulting in exile and
wandering among the
nations.
To Rejoice in
the L-rd
T
his weeks Parasha
Ki Tavo begins with
the mitzvah of Bi-
kurim, bringing the frst
fruits to the Kohen (priest)
in the Holy Temple. Tis
mitzvah is an expression of
appreciation by the owner
of the land for the good and
blessings that G-d gave him.
Te Torah says, And you
shall rejoice in all the good
that the LORD your God
has given to you and to your
house (Deuteronomy 26:11).
Why do we need a directive
to rejoice when we should
automatically be happy when
we have good things?
Rabbi Mordechai Gifter,
former Rosh HaYeshiva of
Telse Yeshiva in Cleveland,
says: Mans nature is to
constantly want more than
he presently has. He who
has one hundred wants two
hundred. Our moments of
joy are mixed with sadness
over what we lack, and this
is destructive both physical-
ly and spiritually. Terefore,
the Torah commands us to
focus on and rejoice with
what we have in order to feel
a complete joy.
all things. (Deut 28:45-48).
Tis emotional command-
ment appears three times in
the parasha, and apparently
the commandments are
geared toward creating joy;
when the commandment to
rejoice is ignored, terrible
things happen. Most of the
time we dont rejoice in per-
forming the mitsvot because
we dont understand the
nature of the G-ds com-
mandments. G-d gave his
commandments to a people
of slaves who were just lib-
erated from slavery and had
to learn to live free from
any master. When they
received commands from
their Egyptian masters they
were not happy, they want-
ed to rebel against them.
Now they have a new mas-
ter, this master is the Cre-
ator, the almighty, how do
they have to react towards
this new master? Not as in
Egypt towards Egyptian
master. When G-d gives
His commandments it is for
the wellbeing of His people.
Since G-d is the creator he
knows everything about us
and knows what is good for
us and what is not good.
Tats why when we per-
form the mitsvot we have to
perform them with kavanah
(intentionally) and with joy,
because it is the L-rd, the
Creator who gave them for
the happiness of His people.
Write It On
Stones
T
he Torah states:
And you shall write
on the stones all the
words of this Torah very
clearly... (Deut 27:8) Ac-
cording to the Jewish tradi-
tion each one should write
one Sepher Torah (Torah
scroll) during his life. Some
people who have the capac-
ity to do it, do it by them-
selves, others pay a scribe to
do it for them. Te purpose
of this mitsvah or advice is
to impress our heart and to
remember what is written in
the Bible.
In the book of Proverbs
it is written write them
upon the table of thine
heart: Proverbs 3:3 and in
the book of Jeremiah it is
spoken about the new cov-
enant, and one of the result
of the new covenant is that
G-d writes his law on our
hearts Behold, the days
come, saith the LORD,
that I will make a new cov-
enant with the house of Is-
rael, and with the house of
Judah: . . . . But this shall
be the covenant that I will
make with the house of Is-
rael; After those days, saith
the LORD, I will put my
law in their inward parts,
and write it in their hearts;
and will be their God, and
they shall be my people.
(Jer. 31:31;33)
Maybe we should follow
this advice and write for
ourselves one copy of the bi-
ble in our lifetime, it will be
one of the best way for G-d
to write it in our hearts.
Blessings and
Curses
O
ur Parasha begins
with the command-
ment of Bikurim and
ends with the recitation of the
curses bringing the total num-
ber of curses in the Torah to
98. What connection can
we see between the begin-
ning and the end.
Te commandment of Bi-
kurim enjoins the smallest
landholder with an olive tree
growing in his backyard to tie
a band around the frst few
olives that appear on his tree

Parasha
Overview
Ki-Tavo
W
hen Bnei Yisra-
el dwell in the
Land of Israel,
its frst fruits are to be taken
to the Temple and given to
the kohen in a ceremony
expressing recognition that
it is G-d who guides the
history of the Jewish People
throughout all ages.
Tis passage forms one
of the central parts of the
Haggadah that we read at
the Passover Seder. On the
last day of Pesach of the
fourth and seventh years
of the seven-year shemita
cycle, a person must recite a
disclosure stating that he has
indeed distributed the tithes
to the appropriate people in
the prescribed manner.
With this mitzvah Moshe
concludes the command-
ments that G-d has told him
to give to the Jewish People.
Moshe exhorts them to walk
in G-ds ways, because they
are set aside as a treasured
people to G-d.
When Bnei Yisrael cross
the Jordan River they are to
make a new commitment to
the Torah.
Huge stones are to be
erected and covered over
with a thin layer of plas-
ter, and the Torah is to
be written on them. Te
Jewish tradition, aware of
her responsibility to preach
the Torah to the world, af-
frms that the Torah must be
written on the stones in the
Te mitzvah of Bikurim
also teaches us to be happy
and rejoice with whatever
G-d has given us. A person
who believes that whatever he
or she has is a gift from G-d,
will not be jealous of others
and thus truly rejoice and be
satisfed and happy in life.
If you think that you will
be happy only when you have
more, then you will never be
happy. When you fnally get
what you were hoping for, you
will once again focus on get-
ting more and will again feel
unhappy. Happiness is depen-
dent upon your state of mind.
You can only be happy if you
appreciate what you have and
what you are presently doing.
Adding to Rabbi Pliskins
message, Pirkei Avot (chapter
4, the frst mishna or teach-
ing) states, Who is the rich
person? He who is happy
with his portion. Regardless
of what you have, you are only
wealthy if you have mastered
the ability to appreciate what
you have. According to To-
rah, true wealth is measured
in terms of happiness!
Te mitzvah of Bikurim
teaches us that before we
enjoy the bounty and bless-
ings which G-d gives us, we
must give back some. Tere
are many believers with re-
gards to their faith who are
like multi-millionaires who
dont know that they are rich
because all of their money is
sewn into the mattress and
they dont know that it is
there. Instead, they complain
about sleeping on a lumpy
mattress!
One can have eyes, hands,
feet, a mind to think with
and be depressed -unless he
focuses on taking pleasure in
these gifts. Imagine if you were
blind and suddenly were given
the gift of sight. Would you be
fying high? You would be
beyond yourself in happiness!
Why wait to appreciate what
you have? Make a list of your
gifts and what you are grateful
for. It is good preparation for
Rosh Hashana!

Isaiah 60:1-22
T
his Shabbat is the
fifth Shabbat af-
ter Tisha BAv. We
are in a period called Shiva
DnechemtaSeven weeks
of comfort. The seven Haf-
tarot of the weeks between
Tisha Bav and Rosh Hasha-
na are prophesies of comfort
and hope for Israel and Gods
people at large.
This text of comfort re-
minds us the mission of Is-
rael. Arise, shine; for your
light has come, and the glory
of the L-RD has risen upon
you. (Is. 60:1). G-ds people
have to shine and to reflect
the glory of the L-rd, which
is G-ds character. Her testi-
mony will bring nations and
kings to her and through her
to G-d. Nations shall come
to your light, and kings to
the brightness of your dawn
(Is. 60:3). However, to see
people coming to her she
must lift up her eyes and ac-
cepts evidences given by the
L-rd Lift up your eyes and
look around; they all gather
together, they come to you;
(Is 60:4). She will shine even
more to be radiant Then
you shall see and be radiant;
your heart shall thrill and re-
joice, because the abundance
of the sea shall be brought to
you, the wealth of the nations
shall come to you. (Is 60:5)
Even the Arabic world will
come to Israel: A multitude
of camels shall cover you, the
young camels of Midian and
Ephah; all those from Sheba
shall come. (Is 60:6a) It will
bring wealth to her They
shall bring gold and frank-
incense, and shall proclaim
the praise of the L-RD. (Is
60:6b). To comfort Israel,
G-ds promises to her that
she will see her children
who are in exile come back
home, For the coastlands
shall wait for me, the ships
of Tarshish first, to bring
your children from far away,
their silver and gold with
them (Is 60:9a). That will
come from the L-rd for the
name of the L-rd your God,
and for the Holy One of Is-
rael, because he has glori-
fied you. (Is 60:9b). Israel
will live in peace without
fearing the nations and
invaders Your gates shall
always be open; day and
night they shall not be shut,
so that nations shall bring
you their wealth, with their
kings led in procession. (Is
60:11). Blessings will be al-
ways there for her Your sun
shall no more go down, or
your moon withdraw itself;
for the LORD will be your
everlasting light, and your
days of mourning shall be
ended. Your people shall
all be righteous; they shall
possess the land forever. . .

nation; I am the L-rd; in
its time I will accomplish it
quickly. (Is. 60:20-22).
each season and bring those
olives to the temple upon
reaching maturation and
recite a speech of gratitude
which clearly implies that the
great events of the Exodus,
which took place thousands
of years in the past are in
some way directly related to
him. Te believer speaks of
the land that You have given
me. Te earth belongs to
G-d where ever I am living,
each piece of land which be-
longs to me has been given to
me and I have to be ready to
give thanks for each blessing
I receive in this piece of land.
A person can only be truly
happy if he appreciates what
Hashem has given him.
However, if a person is ego-
centric, considering himself
deserved of all that he has,
he will not be happy by what
is already his. Rather, he will
be focused on those things
which are not yet his, but
to which he feels entitled.
If a person goes through life
with the attitude that every-
one owes him, he will con-
stantly be miserable, never
satisfed with what he has.
According to Rabbi No-
son Weisz Internalizing
the message of Parashat Ki
Tavo teaches a double les-
son. As long as we are on a
legitimate path of expres-
sion of our spiritual poten-
tial, the entire immensity of
the revelations of the Exo-
dus and its aftermath is ours
to draw upon. We all live in
the space between the bless-
ings of Bikurim and the 98
curses.
Blessings and
Curses mirror
each other
T
he curses contain the
mirror image of the
blessings.
A Blessed shall you be in
the city,
B and blessed shall you be
in the feld.
C. Blessed shall be the
fruit of your womb and the
fruit of your ground and the
fruit of your cattle, the in-
crease of your herds and the
young of your fock.
D. Blessed shall be your
basket and your kneading
bowl.
E. Blessed shall you be
when you come in,
F. and blessed shall you be
when you go out. (Deuter-
onomy 28:36)
A. Cursed shall you be in
the city,
B. and cursed shall you be
in the feld.
D. Cursed shall be your bas-
ket and your kneading bowl.
C. Cursed shall be the
fruit of your womb and the
fruit of your ground, the in-
crease of your herds and the
young of your fock.
E. Cursed shall you be
when you come in,
F. and cursed shall you be
when you go out. (Deuter-
onomy 28:1619).
Te Targum Yonasan Ben
Uziel translates the pasuk
(verse) Cursed will you be
when you come in and cursed
will you be when you go out
(28:19) as follows: You will
be cursed when you come in
means you will be cursed
when you come into the
theaters and when you come
into the circuses because you
wasted your time on frivolous
entertainment rather than
spending it learning Torah.
You will be cursed when you
go out as you will be cursed
when you go out to make a
living. Rav Pam asks, what is
wrong with making a living?
A believer needs to support
his family and earn a living.
A person must earn a living.
However, he must have the
attitude that whenever he has
the opportunity to do so, he
wants to use his time wisely
from a spiritual perspective
studying the Bible.
I
n the text of the para-
sha Ki-Tavo, there are
blessings and curses,
one of the curses written
in Deuteronomy (27:26)
is quoted by Rabbi Shaul
(Paul) in his letter to the
Galatians For all who rely
on works of the Torah are
under a curse; for it is writ-
ten, Cursed be everyone
who does not abide by all
things written in the Book
of the Torah, and do them.
(Galatians 3:10) It is very
important to remember
who is Rabbi Shaul and the
context of his writings if we
want to understand what he
wrote in a correct way. Paul
was a doctor of the law and
a Pharisee, that means he
was a member of an ultra
orthodox Jewish movement
two thousand years ago,
today we would say that
he was a Haredim, he was
educated by the chief of the
Pharisees, Rabbi Gamaliel,
and I am sure that if Rabbi
Shaul was living today, he
would have been one of the
Haredim of Mea Shearim,
the ultra-Orthodox neigh-
borhood of Jerusalem.
When we read Jewish Or-
thodox commentaries of
the Bible we discover that
these commentaries are not
easy to understand, that is
why even Shimon-Peter af-
frmed that the writings
of Shaul were not easy to
understand (2 Peter 3:16).
Te context is that Shaul
received a revelation from
Yeshua confrming that he
was the Mashiach of Israel.
Shaul did not resist the vi-
sion and accepted Yeshua
as the Mashiach. Tus he
got also by revelation, that
the Jewish Orthodox move-
ment did not understood
the Torah when they put all
their righteousness on the
Torah, thinking that they
could obtain eternal life just
in obeying to the Torah.
Everyone knows that there
are 613 mitzvot in the To-
rah, when we declare that
we get our righteousness
through the mitzvot of the
Torah, and then we must be
perfect in their observance,
that is why Shaul is so radi-
cal in his teaching. Anyone
who thinks that he is justi-
fed by the works (miztvot)
of the Torah, is under the
curse of the Torah, because
nobody can say that he
keeps the mitzvot perfect-
ly. And then he recalled a
great revelation, which was
already given to the prophet
Habakkuk (2:4) Now it is
evident that no one is justi-
fed before God by the law,
for Te righteous shall live
by faith. (3:11). But to un-
derstand this righteousness
by faith, preached by the
prophets of Israel we must
understand the coming of
Mashiach. Rabbi Shaul
says: Mashiach redeemed
us from the curse of the To-
rah by becoming a curse for
usfor it is written, Cursed
is everyone who is hanged
on a tree (13) Yeshua took
upon him the punishment
(curse), which had to be on
us because of our sins and
transgression of the Torah.
Yeshua, the only one in this
world who was without sin,
has been made sin on the
tree (cross) in order to give
us eternal life. Not to say
that the Torah is not valid
anymore, but to confrm
the Torah. It is because Ye-
shua confrmed the Torah,
that he could not avoid his
ignominious death on the
cross, and through his death
blessings came to everyone
as Shaul said it so that in
Mashiach Yeshua the bless-
ing of Abraham might come
to the Gentiles, so that we
might receive the promised
Spirit through faith. (14)
Praise to our G-d who gave
through Yeshua his bless-
ings to Jews and Gentiles
without distinction.
And you shall write on the stones all
the words of this law very plainly.
(Deuteronomy 27:8)

Whatever G-d
does is for
the good!
T
he Talmud relates
that Rabbi Akiva
would always say,
Whatever G-d does is for
the good! Once on a jour-
ney, Rabbi Akiva and his stu-
dents were refused hospitality
at a certain town and had to
spend the night in a feld. Yet,
instead of being upset, Rabbi
Akiva said: Whatever G-d
does is for the good!
Rabbi Akiva had a donkey,
a rooster to awaken him early,
and a lamp for studying To-
rah. Tat evening, as he was
studying, a wind blew out
his lamp. Ten a cat pounced
on his rooster and ate it. Fi-
nally, a prowling lion ate his
donkey. Again Rabbi Akiva
said: Whatever G-d does is
for the good!
Late that night, marauding
troops raided the town and
took all its inhabitants cap-
tive. Te next morning, Rab-
bi Akiva and his students dis-
covered what happened. He
said to his students: Didnt
I tell youwhatever G-d
does is for the good! If the
lamp would have been burn-
ing or the rooster would have
crowed, or the donkey would
have brayed, we too, would
have been taken captive.
Rabbi Zalmen Marozov
gives us a lesson when he af-
frms that at times G-ds ac-
tions dont reveal any good at
all. In situations like these
one has to believe and trust
in G-d that everything is for
the ultimate good. And you
shall rejoice in all the good
that the LORD your God
has given to you and to your
house (Deuteronomy 26:11)

heres a Jewish leg-
end that says Moshe
came back down to
earth early in the second
century of the Common Era
and visited Rabbi Aquibas
schoolhouse. He sat quietly
in the back row incognito.
Moshe was all ears. Rabbi
Aqiba lectured on an in-
credibly well-developed le-
gal system, that considered
every interest, yet seemingly
made room for every excep-
tion. It refected a society
that was profoundly human.
Moshe was astounded that
the children Israel had come
so far in their walk with
HaShem. Tey were way
beyond him! Tis guy Rabbi
Aquiba was so advanced in
fairness and compassion that
Moshe himself couldnt fol-
low all the ins and outs of
the discussion. At the end
of the astounding exposi-
tion, Moshe meekly raised
his hand lets remember
that according to the Torah,
Moshe is the meekest man
who ever lived on the face of
the earth and asked Rabbi
Aquiba where he had learned
this teaching. Rabbi Aquiba,
who didnt know who he was
talking to, said, Why, dont
you know? Every Jew knows.
Tis is the Torah HaShem

Mt Sinai. I learned it from
him..

not even know the Chazon
Ish and he certainly did not

were both coincidentally in

waiting to see the Rav and
began talking with one an-

Chazon Ish Whats your
name? and he replied My
name is Avraham Yeshaya
Karelitz. What do you
do? inquired Rav Henkin.
I own a store, replied Rav
Karelitz. (Tis was true be-
cause the Chazon Ishs wife
ran a store and that is how he
earned a living.) Rav Hen-
kin then asked, Do you set
aside fxed times for learn-
ing Torah daily? Te Cha-
zon Ish responded, When I
have time I learn.
Later, when Rav Henkin
got in to see the Rav who he
was waiting to talk to, the
Rabbi told him that he was
about to leave his position
for several months and travel
to Russia. He was planning
on leaving his community in
the interim with the gentle-
man in the parlor named
Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya
Karelitz, who was profcient
in all areas of Torah. What
the Chazon Ish told Rav
Henkin was absolutely true.
Whenever he had time, he
learned! Tat is why he be-
came the Chazon Ish (Man
of Vision).
And these shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and
Naphtali. And the Levites shall declare to all the men of Israel in a loud voice: Cursed be
the man who makes a carved or cast metal image, an abomination to the L-rd, a thing made
by the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.And all the people shall answer and say,
Amen. Cursed be anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.And all the people shall
say, Amen. Cursed be anyone who moves his neighbors landmark. And all the people
shall say, Amen. Cursed be anyone who misleads a blind man on the road. And all the
people shall say, Amen. (Deuteronomy 27:1318)
