last part of Torah portion deals with the description of what will happen to us
if we will forsake the Torah. The
Chofetz Chayim used to say that there are people who are afraid to read this section.
In some synagogues the person who reads the Torah in public reads this in a very
low voice, and some people even walk out of the synagogue when this section is
read. But they are very mistaken. The
Chofetz Chayim gave an analogy of someone who had to travel on a dangerous path.
It was on a very high and extremely narrow mountain and he could easily trip and
harm himself. Besides, there were many wild animals stalking in the area and the
whole path had many pitfalls. One person who was aware of the serious dangers
involved in traveling on that path was very nervous about it. After thinking the
matter over, he came up with an original solution to his fears. He would walk
blindfolded. This way he would not be able to see the great dangers that surrounded
him from all sides and he would then be able to remain calm. Anyone with a drop
of sense can easily see how this "solution" just adds to the problem
without solving anything at all. He is now in even greater danger than before
since he will be unaware of his true situation. Similarly,
said the Chofetz Chayim, we must become aware of the dangers of not behaving properly.
Closing one's eyes doesn't help. Rather we should have courage to face the challenge
and to find the ways to improve. from
