The Blessing, the Curse, and the Divine Plan: The Torah vs. Political Correctness
As Israel prepares to enter into the Land, this week’s Torah portion of Re’eh clearly spells it out: ‘See, I present before you today a blessing and a curse.’ The blessing is to hearken to G-d’s commandments. The curse is a world gone mad. As the month of Av winds down and we prepare for the coming month of Elul, a special period of introspection and repentance, Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Richman examine the blessing and curse of this week’s Torah portion as the well as the emergence of the idea of the Holy Temple, and the challenges we face in the coming month of Elul.

G-d is uncompromising in His intention to bequeath the entire land of Israel to His beloved people Israel, the sons and daughters of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yaakov. But G-d is equally insistent and uncompromising in His intention that Israel not only fulfill G-d’s Torah in the land of Israel, but that Israel conquer and inhabit the land without mercy or distraction. Fulfilling G-d’s Torah in the land of Israel is literally Israel’s raison d’etre, and Israel’s only lasting claim on the land.

Moshe beseeches G-d simply to be allowed into the land of Israel where he can see “this good mountain and the Leban,on” understood by our sages as referring to the mountain of Jerusalem and the cedars of Lebanon of the Holy Temple. When Moshe later states the Shema declaration of G-d’s unity and absolute Oneness, it is with the same clarity of love and devotion that informed his prayer to see the Holy Temple.

How poignant, yet sweetly hopeful that this year the Torah reading of Devarim falls precisely on Tisha b’Av – the 9th of Av. On the very day of the destruction of the Holy Temple, Moshe rabbenu – Moses our master – speaks for the first time his own words of gentle rebuke. The failings of past generations become our own failings when we fail to correct them. Until we build the Holy Temple we are guilty of allowing its destruction.
