Good morning and welcome. In today’s portion, we explore the profound message in chapter seven, verse twelve from the book of Deuteronomy. Moses reminds the Jewish people that adherence to even the smallest commandments brings great reward. Rashi highlights that the word “ekev,” meaning heel, symbolizes the seemingly insignificant mitzvahs we often overlook. Yet, when we honor these commandments, God promises to honor His covenant with us.

The blessings that follow emphasize fertility, health, and prosperity, reminding us that obedience leads to divine favor. Verse thirteen portrays God’s love, while verses fourteen and fifteen assure us that none among us will be barren or afflicted by illness. The call to remember our past and the miracles of our journey through the desert teaches us that every challenge is a test of faith.

As we reflect on this message, let us commit to embracing every mitzvah, big or small, and trust in God’s everlasting promises.
