BECHUKOTAI

Shalom, Shalom. We commence this DEVAR TORAH by focusing our ATTENTION on the title of the PARASHAT. The title of the PARASHAT is BECHUKOTAI. The IVRI transliteration BECHUKOTAI is interpreted to mean “by My decrees.” The portion begins it’s unfoldment with a SCENARIO describing the Miracles of the blessing and the curse.

It was disclosed by the NAVI Moshe that the consideration of the blessing and the curse would effect an awakening in the Jewish people who have been scattered among the nations. It is written, “It will be that when all these things come upon you - the blessing and the curse that I have presented before you - then you will take it to your heart among all the nations where HaShem, your God, has dispersed you, and you will return unto Hashem, your God, and listen to His voice according to everything that I command you today, your and your children, with all your heart and all your soul.” (Deuteronomy 30:1,2) From this prophetic utterance, we are able to discern that the SUFFERINGS experienced by the Jewish people are employed by the Holy Blessed One of Yisrael to aid in our return to a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD as well as to ERETZ YISRAEL.

The return to a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD is destined to effect LIBERATION FROM LIMITATION. The LIBERATION FROM LIMITATION is experienced as the MANIFESTATION of ETERNAL LIFE in the earthen realm. The NAVI Daniel beheld it as a process that has been predetermined to occur during a TIME of GREAT TROUBLE, it is written, “and there will be a time of trouble such as there had never been since there was a nation until that time. But at that time your people will escape, every thing that is found written in this book will occur. Many of those who sleep in the dusty earth will awaken, these for everlasting life…” (Daniel 12:1b,2a) No doubt the prophetic utterance reveals it is the atmosphere of GREAT TROUBLE that will engender the consideration of the Jewish People concerning the blessing and the curse. The contemplation of the consideration are seeds of meditation that give rise to returning to ECHAD in order to cease from SUFFERING. The answer to ceasing from SUFFERING is LIFE filled with BLISS without the possibility of DEATH.

The elimination of DEATH in OLAM (the world) has been predetermined by ECHAD to take place in SPACE and TIME. The NAVI Isaiah wrote, “HaShem, Master of Legions, will make for all the nations on this mountain, a feast of fats, a feast of lees… He will eliminate death forever, and my Lord Hashem/Elohim will erase tears from all faces…” (Isaiah 25:6a,8a) The elimination commences with the Jewish people returning to a CONSCIOUS UNION with ECHAD that will be made manifest in the PHYSICAL REALM. The CONSCIOUS UNION is ATTAINED as the result of ASCENSION into PURE SOUL CONSCIOUSNESS where LIBERATION from LIMITATION is ACTUALIZED and the concealed nature of ECHAD that is latent within becomes REVEALED.
