Rabbi Frand Linkage Between Sinas Chinom and Absence of Simcha [Between Needless Hatred and Absence of Joy] At the end of the Tochacha [verses of rebuke in our Parsha], the pasuk [verse] says that these ninety-eight terrible curses come “as the result of your not having served the L-rd, your G-d, with joy and with good spirit (b’simcha u’vtuv leivav) when you had and abundance of everything” [Devorim 28:47]. “I can live with the fact that you have as much money as me, but I cannot live with the fact that you are smarter than me!” or “I can live with the fact that you have as much money as me and that you are smarter than me, but I can’t live with the fact that your children are better than mine!” “In at least some area, I want to be better than you!” This, says the Ramban, is what the Torah is teaching us here.

Moreover, there is another difficulty: Our Sages tell us that the Tochacha that we find at the end of Sefer Vayikra [Leviticus] corresponded historically to the events of the First Temple period; this Tochacha — in Parshas Ki Savo — is referring to the period leading up to the destruction of the Second Temple. It seems harsh that such terrible curses should befall the Jewish people, just because people are lacking what seems to be a “hidur mitzvah” [glorification of a mitzvah, which is not absolutely necessary] of observing commandments in a state of joy. The Ramban shares a startling insight on this commandment: “This expression (loving your friend LIKE YOURSELF) is an exaggeration!” The Ramban posits that it is simply impossible to expect anyone to love someone else as much as he loves himself. This is summarized by a very famous Gemara (Shabbos 31a): “There was once an incident of a certain Gentile who came before Shammai and said to him ‘Convert me on the condition that you can teach me the entire Torah while I stand on one f
