Parshas Ki Savo (5765)

As an important principle the issue of gratitude is, in our service to Hashem, we find in our parsha something amazing. On the pasuk “Vilo nasan Hashem lohem lev lodaas” Rashi explains “lihakir es chasdei Hashem”—that presently you will receive Divine ability to relate, understand and appreciate the kindness of Hashem. As basic an important a requirement it is, and how serious of a commitment we must have to achieve it, we can only truly achieve gratitude through this special Divine order and assistance. At least we must yearn to have gratitude.

It is essential to prepare for a meaningful fulfillment of the important mitzvah of tekias shofar which has an awesome input, affect and influence over the events of the coming year. Study, memorize and integrate R’ Saadya Gaon’s ten explanations for the blowing of the shofar found in many machzorim.

Have a wonderful Shabbos and a wonderful new year.
