The Parasha (Story) of Ki-Tevo gives us necessary tools for the battle of this year, the battle on the way our lives will look like in the New Year – after Rosh HaShanah. The main tool is the ability to control our concsiousness, emotions and thoughts. 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.
