On the night of Rosh Hashanah, a person is supposed to come home from shul and sit at his table and begin the meal by eating certain foods as a good omen for the new year. It is important to follow this procedure and say the accompanying tefilot when eating each food, but it is even more important for a person to act and think the right way on this day. Even one thought of a person feeling that he wants to become better and improve in his observance of Torah and mitzvot is more powerful than all the foods and Yehi ratzons combined. The Meiri writes that one of the purposes of eating those foods and saying the Yehi ratzons is to arouse a person to want to become better. Every thought that we have on this holy day makes a very big impact on the entire upcoming year. A person should be filled with hope and emunah. A person should look at things from the right perspective. We should remove all worry and stress and focus on Hashem's rulership over the world and our lives individually. Every mitzvah we do on this day goes a long way. The Chochmat Shelomo writes in his derushim to parashat Ki Tavo that, on Rosh Hashanah, a person should be happy and say the words “Whatever Hashem does is good,” with real emunah. Those words have the power to change a harsh decree into revealed good. Everything we do on Rosh Hashanah has a major impact. A man sent the following question to Rav Yitzchak Zilberstein a few years back. He said that, for whatever reason, his wife is not happy with him and many times she does things just to get him upset. One of the things that she does is on Rosh Hashanah instead of serving him the head of a sheep, she serves him a tail. Normally, we are supposed to eat from the head as a sign that we should be at the head and not at the tail. He said that makes him so nervous because he doesn't want it to be a bad omen for him. The Rabbi told him, to be at the head means we want our true desire of doing good to lead us on the proper path, rather than getting pulled like a tail by our evil inclination. If a person is able to overcome his inclination of getting upset or yelling at his wife and rather accept what she does with love, he will not need any omens to have his good inclination lead him, because he is already practicing it. He will have already proven that he is a head and not a tail. And that is more powerful than any food or any sign. The main thing is that we shouldn't get upset or speak negatively to anybody. A person's attitude can change everything for the better. On one occasion on Rosh Hashanah, a young avrech came to the Slonimer Rebbe looking very scared. He cried to the Rebbe saying he couldn't afford to buy a head. He only had enough to buy a fish tail. Now he was worried that would be a negative omen for him for a bad year. The Rabbi told him, everything goes after a person's attitude and his tefilot . He told him to pick up the tail and say “This should be the tail-end of all of our troubles and suffering and, going forward, we should only have peace and tranquility.” Nothing should bother us on this great and awesome day. We should utilize every moment we can for Torah, for mitzvot and for ma'asim tovim . And we should be happy and calm, trusting in the great mercy of Hashem

Archeologists found a “curse tablet” on Mt. Ebal, this is the mountain whereon God placed the curses of breaking His law in Deut 28. Not only that, but this tablet bears the oldest found inscription of His name, a reminder of: Deu 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful Name.

Parsha "Ki Tavo" (Deuteronomy 26:1 thru 29:8) is the most well-known collection of "blessings and cursings" in the Bible. There is, of course, much more. But this year, there's an additional twist as well. Having taught this for a number of years at this point, and noting just how relevant - and DESERVED - those curses are, it time for a different take. After all, if it's not obvious by now how and why those curses apply, it's fair to ask: Just what is it gonna take? The Erev Shabbat overview begins with something that might seem quite different from how this one ends...what does 'first fruits,' and things that have to with His appointed times, have to do with blessings and cursings? But it's no coincidence this parsha coincides with the coming of the Fall Feasts, and all they represent. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/SSM-9-1-23-Ki-Tavo-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 The Sabbath midrash is a look at the question that should especially resonate this year: The reasons for the curses should be obvious, but will not be to far too many. And Deuteronomy 27:26 is why! Doesn't it tell those who deny His Word exactly what the consequences are? The curses are deserved, arguably even overdue; but YHVH is patient, to give all who will a chance to 'return' to Him. The question for those with eyes to see then becomes, what do we do now? And Mark Call, of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, suggests the answer is in there, repeatedly. It starts with "fear not!" - but it turns out that there is more than one Hebrew word for "fear," and the difference is vital to the second part of the answer, especially for the time of Sukkot: REJOICE! "Ki Tavo: So - the Well-Deserved Curses are Here...NOW What?" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/WT-CooH-9-2-23-Ki-Tavo-The-Curses-are-at-hand-so-NOW-what-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part teaching is here:

In the garden, there was a tithe. While God gave mankind an entire garden to enjoy, one tree was to be set aside. But when greed came in, nothing could restrain man from devouring its fruit. This gave authority to the snake to devour man's inheritance, removing the blessing of God. God wants to bless us, but we must obey a specific instruction to keep the devourer out. The struggles in our garden can be healed, but it means setting aside God's sacred portion. Join PD in this teaching on how to resist the devourer & and restore blessing to your house.

In the beginning of this week's Parasha, Ki Tavo, we read about the mitzvah of Bikurim where the landowners bring up a basket of their first fruits to the Bet HaMikdash. There they read a portion from the Torah thanking Hashem for all of the chasadim that He does for them. The Midrash in Bereshit says in the zechut of this mitzvah alone, Hashem created the entire world. What is so special about Bikurim? The purpose of our existence is for us to recognize Hashem in this hidden world and serve Him properly. When a landowner works his field and puts in all the necessary efforts to produce a crop, it will obviously appear that he is the one who made it happen. His mitzvah is to go to the Bet HaMikdash and declare that Hashem is the One who made everything happen and thank Him for it. That act of recognition and thanks is worth creating the entire world because it is fulfilling its purpose. The sefer Torat Chaim writes, Hashem does kindness with us every moment of the day. It's just that we don't recognize all of them. We think things are running naturally and we don't sense that with every move we make and every breath we take, we are experiencing chesed Hashem. The Rabbi continued, technically, we should be thanking Hashem at every moment, but because that's not possible, the Rabbis instituted a thank you section in the Amida which we say three times a day to include all the 'thank you's that we owe for the rest of the day. One of the areas that we are tested in this world is how we respond to challenges. Do we recognize the challenges are from Hashem for our best or do we feel like we're being picked on and complain about them? We must also realize that one of the areas we are tested in is how we respond to blessing. Do we recognize the blessings are from Hashem? Do we thank Him for them? That's a test we would much rather have, so let us do it the best possible way. The Torat Avigdor writes, one of the reasons the words "קל עליון-supreme God" are written next to the words "-גומל חסדים טובים Who grants benevolent kindnesses" in the Amida is for us to contemplate the fact that any chasadim we have are directly from Hashem and the people who seem to be the immediate cause of them are just His messengers. How can we improve in this area of thanking Hashem for everything we have? It could happen that a person was once facing adversity. For example, he had a dangerous illness. He cried and prayed to Hashem many times for salvation and, baruch Hashem, it came – the doctors declared him totally healed. Naturally, at that time, he must have felt indebted to Hashem. But after time went on, did he still feel the same thankfulness for living a regular, healthy life? That is where the test kicks in, to be appreciative of the blessing of health, without the challenge of it being threatened. If we could contemplate all the undeserved blessings that we have, we would be so humbled and we would look forward to thanking Hashem. The Gemara says in Masechet Berachot, when a king makes the first bow to Hashem in the Amida, he should remain like that for the remainder of it, never getting up until it's over. One of the reasons given for that is since Hashem blessed him with so much, he needs to be even more humbled and appreciative. The more Hashem blesses a person, the more hakarat hatov he needs to have - and we are all blessed. The Pele Yoetz writes, if that applies to physical blessings, how much more so to spiritual ones. If a person is fortunate enough to be religious, to know Hashem, to follow mitzvot, to be clear about his purpose in life... Or if someone is fortunate enough to live his daily life revolving around Hashem – praying, learning – he should be so humbled and appreciative that he is from the select group in this world that have this merit. When we become more thankful individuals, it brings more beracha. Right after Modim in the Amida, we ask Hashem for the most wonderful gifts – שלום, טובה, ברכה, חיים, חן וחסד ורחמים. How could we ask for so much? Because once we appreciate, the pipelines of blessing burst open. הודו לה' כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו-B'ezrat Hashem, we should have the praises of Hashem on our lips all the time. Shabbat Shalom.

Rabbi Dunner marks the 96th anniversary of the passing of Rabbi Yisrael Abba Citron (1881-1927) by recalling a remarkable exchange of correspondence that Rabbi Citron had with his father-in-law, Rabbi Yosef Rozin, better known by his moniker: "The Rogachover." How can one best define the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel? Rabbi Dunner explains.

There is a curious anomaly in Parshat Ki Tavo -- those who will adhere to God's Torah are promised to be "on the top," and also not "on the bottom." Why the repetition? Surely, if you're on top, then you won't be on the bottom! Rabbi Dunner cites an insightful interpretation by Rav Tzadok Hacohen of Lublin, which incidentally also provides a life hack for lottery winners.
