The Parasha (Story) of Re'eh is giving us the gift of realizing our gifts and our curses. Where can we find the blessing? Where can we find only curses? How can we make the right choices about our future? Now! When the world is still in a dangerous place of uncertainty, it is time to reflect and look inside. This is the time to ask: Who is the person that I want to become and not: 'What are the things that I want to have? the places I want to travel, the deals I want to make'. This the time to stop our slavery to habits, belief systems and objects, the time to prepare ourselves to the freedom awaiting us in the 5780's.
