They asked, “Your Torah states (Devarim 10:17 (this week)) that you do not show favoritism, yet You do show favoritism to the Jews, as it says (Bamidbar 6:26 in the Priestly blessing,) “Hashem will show you favor and grant you peace.” Instead of declaring that He does not play favorites, Hashem responds, “How shall I not show them favor? E-mail DoItForDovid@gmail.com V’haya aikev tishme’un: It will be, because you listen (to Hashem’s commandments, that He will bless you…) Rashi famously comments that the word aikev used for “because” is also the word for “heel,” as in the bottom of the foot. When recalling the story of the Golden Calf, Moshe recounts that he was coming down with the luchos, the tablets of the covenant, and when he saw the people worshiping the calf, he grabbed the tablets and threw them, breaking them in front of the people. R' Yisrael of Rizhin suggests that since every mitzvah must be done with joy, the posuk can be read, “’V’haya’ im shachoach,” if you forget the v’haya/joy of serving Hashem, “tishcach es Hashem,” you will forget Hashem, and become like the other nations. If, while enjoying the success Hashem sends us, we forget its source and believe that we are the source of our own success, we will begin to follow the path of the nations and be bound to destruction. I commanded (Devarim 8:10, our verse above) “You shall eat and be satisfied and bless,” but they bless Me even after eating an olive’s or egg’s worth of bread!” What is the meaning here? One commentator even points out that the luchos rested “upon” his hands, so there was no way for Moshe to turn his hands to grab them if not that Hashem helped him. The Parsha tells us, “V’haya, and it shall be,” if you forget Hashem, and follow the ways of the nations, you will surely be destroyed. YET – When we are cast down from our high perches, and we recognize the lowly place we’ve come to, we will lift our eyes to Hashem to save us as we always do. In this Parsha, we are commanded that when we eat to satiety, we should invoke Hashem’s name and bless Him for the food we’ve eaten.
