Parashat Ki Tavo: If You’ve Got First Fruits, You Didn’t Make That Happen
Like the old song goes, “Thank G-d for every flower and each tree; thank G-d for all the mountains and the seas; thank G-d for giving life to you and me; wherever you may be, thank G-d.” Like the Temple pilgrim’s basket that holds his first fruits, thankfulness and acknowledgement of the Creator is the vessel that holds every blessing this world has to offer. In this week’s edition of Temple Talk for the Torah portion of Ki Tavo, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman explore the many lessons expressed by the commandment to bring the first fruits up to the Holy Temple.

The Torah says: “Keep them and do them, for this is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations” (Devarim 4:6). Now, it is impossible that the nations would admit to the loftiness of our wisdom and understanding, unless there are arguments, clear proofs, and rational evidence which attest to the truth of our Torah and the authenticity of our beliefs. Our Creator has promised us that He will remove the veil of ignorance from their minds, and that His brilliant glory will be revealed to serve us as evidence of the truth of our Torah, as He said: “Nations will walk by your light, kings by the glitter of that which shines on you” (Yeshiyahu 60:3); “And many people’s will go and say: ‘Come, let us go up to G-d’s mountain’” (Yeshiyahu 2:3).
It has been made clear—by reason, Scripture, and tradition—that we are obligated to investigate that of which we attain verification with our minds.
