Blessings, Past and Future: Removal of Yoke vs Breaking of Yoke The (conditional) blessings at the beginning of the parsha conclude with the pasuk, “I am Hashem, your G-d, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, from being their slaves, I broke the staves of your yoke (motos ulchem) and I led you erect.” [Vayikra 26:13]. The Kotzker Rebbe once explained that the reason why the parsha of Eruchin follows the parsha of the Tochacha is that the Torah is trying to teach us that no matter what befalls a person, he must always keep in mind that a person always has value. ‫בעלון‬ ‫ בשעת הצורך הרשות נתונה לאמור מהדברים‬- .‫ לשמור‬/ ‫ להעתיק‬/ ‫ לחלק‬/ ‫להדפיס‬ ‫ אך הבא להדפיס יביא גאולה לעולם וידפיס בשם‬.‫שבעלון אף שלא בשם אומרם‬ .‫אומרו‬ The “Chok” Aspect of Diligent Torah Study Parshas Bechukosai Rabbi Yissocher Frand The pasuk at the beginning of Parshas Bechukosai says: “If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and do them” (Vayikra 26:3).

The Message of Shmitta For Contemporary Society After spelling out the rewards that come in the wake of “If you will walk in the ways of my statutes…” (Vayikra 26:3), the Torah begins the Tochacha itself with the words “And if you will not hearken unto Me…” (Vayikra 26:14).
