This Divre Torah is dedicated Le Iluy Nishmat my beloved father Eliahu ben Simcha and all fallen soldiers to defend the Jewish people and all you refua shelema wounded. It is based on the teachings of R 'Yonatan Gefen.
Much of this week's parsha describes the devastating receive punishments that the Jewish people do not follow the Torah. Amid criticism, the Torah gives us a deeper understanding of the cause of all the terrible punishments understanding there are statements:
The Arizal explains the verse according to the Kabbalah differently. He says that the Torah is telling us that we have fulfilled the mitzvot may with some degree of happiness, but our joy was not based on compliance of the Torah but the joy came from rov kol, which refers to all other sources of happiness (3). Therefore, the Torah tells the Jewish people to the joy of avodat Hashem (divine service) should be much higher than the pleasure yn derived from other ventures.
This lesson is very relevant to Rosh Hashanah: the main work of Rosh Hashanah is to crown God, and an important yn aspect of this is to recognize that God is the only source of meaning and that all other sources of pleasure are insignificant.
This lesson is also very important for Yom Kippur, being a prerequisite yn for the process of teshuvah (repentance), if the person's wishes are not solely directed towards the Divine yn service, yn it is almost impossible to avoid sin. There will always be times that your wishes will face God and his Divine service will inevitably suffer. Therefore, any that do teshuva yn on Yom Kippur will be tainted by his outlook on life, that God is not the only source of meaning and joy.
It is important to note that even if a person avoids sin while pursuing your desires face further unpleasant consequences. Rav Frand Issachar (4) tells a scary story that illustrates yn this point.
On one occasion, the Ha-Rim Chidushei traveled with a man in his carriage drawn by two horses. After a few kilometers, one of the horses died, causing great distress to the owner. A few miles later, the other horse also died. The owner was so distraught over the loss of his horses, who sat crying for a long time until he died. That night, the Ha-Rim Chidushei had a dream: he saw the man who had died, who had received Olam Haba (World to Come). What was his next world? A beautiful yn carriage with two beautiful horses.
This story teaches us that our Olam Haba is the result of what we value in Olam Hazé (this world). For this man, the most important thing in his life were his horses and carriage, therefore, that was what he got for all eternity.
Now, one might ask does not seem so bad in the Olam Haba receive what you both want in the Olam Hazé. Rav Frand answered this question by saying that as a child, he always wanted a slingshot to play, but his parents always refused. Imagine what would have happened if at the time of her marriage her parents yn had arrived and he had said: "Here you have the slingshot you've always wanted". Sling child seemed valuable, but now he had grown and was not interested. Likewise, we may strive to achieve yn many pleasures in this world, like money or honor, believing that will give us satisfaction. But when we get to Olam Haba, understand the truth of the words of Rav Moshe Chaim Luzatto in the path of the righteous:
The rebuke of Ki Tavo is a strong reminder that fulfill the mitzvot is not enough, but we must do so that is the only motivating force in our lives. Honor, power, money, food and all other pleasures are just imaginary sources of meaning for our lives; crown God means understanding that He is the only true source of happiness.
