Parashas Bechukosai

I dedicate this Torah Sedra Writing to my Ima Chava Rivka Bas Eliyahu Ha Kohein A"H . May HaShem Bless her Neshomele Eternally in Shamaim . The Parsha this week is Parashas Bechukosai.
In this Sedra , HaShem Gives the basis of choice of living in this World and the result that comes from the choice we make . HaShem Gives us a choice to either abide by Him and be Blessed, or turn away from Him , Chas Ve Shalom , and be cursed . This is the basis of choice of living . HaShem Doesn't Make us robots , but gives us the opportunity to choose our own road to travel , and with it , the destination we come to . From the very first moments of Creation , HaShem Put into Creation , Shamaim and an Aretz - a Heaven and Earth . If we hearken to The Voice of HaShem , we make for ourselves a path of Brochas , but if we don't , Chas Ve Shalom , we set ourselves up for many sevens of groups of punishment , as the Sedra says . There is only one way to travel , and that is HaShem's Way .
The Sedra starts with the words , " Im Bechukosai Teileichu V'es Mitzvosai Tishmeru Va'Asitem Otam , " - " If you will follow My Decrees and observe My Commandments and perform them , " then the most wonderful Blessings will abound . But should HaShem's Laws be ignored and treated with casualness , then that choice will bring about its own deserved Curses from HaShem . The epitome of ' casualness ' is Amalek who tries to remove HaShem from the World , Chas Ve Shalom , and tries to take all things HaShem Miraculously does , with casualness . When we came out of Mitzrayim , all the nations were in awe at the Miracles HaShem Performed for us and there was at the time , a great feeling for HaShem in the World . Amalek wanted to cool this fervor down and make it into a casualness , to try remove the Essence for HaShem in the World . All the other nations steered clear of The Children of Israel , but Amalek attacked us from the back , not fearing HaShem . So an action of ' casualness ' is an action like Amalek . An action we are to steer very well clear of . We thus need to keep HaShem's Commandments with fervor and cancel out any feelings of ' casualness . ' May the World come to follow HaShem Only . The word " Im " - " If " shows The Fairness of HaShem , as He Wants us kindly to follow His Decrees and Laws , on our own , to choose HaShem with love . That is the best show of love , if it comes from within us on our own and by our own choice . HaShem Gives us a free choice , unlike most of the Malachim - Angels , who obey His Commandments without choice . So HaShem Puts us on a very trusted level , Hoping we will love Him enough to obey , for our own sake . 
The word " " Bechukosai " - " My Decrees , " has within it the word ' Chok , ' which refers to a decree we must keep without an explanation or a full understanding from Him . This again is a great show of love , as to keep a Law without even a deeper understanding of it , is a great show of love , for there is not even the satisfaction of knowing the why's , but obedience to it is purely for the love and faith and Bitachon and Trust in HaShem , Who Knows Best . This is like the era of Mashiach , such a deep era that comes with love from HaShem . The word " Bechukosai ," comes to 520 in Gematria and these numbers add up to 7 , the same as the Gematrical value of the word Mashiach , showing that the way to bring Mashiach , is to love HaShem with a pure trusting love , and follow him wholeheartedly with pure trust and faith , that He Knows Better , in all things. The way HaShem Wants us to keep His Decrees and Mitzvos is to " Teileichu , " - to " Follow " them without question , with a perfect faith and trust in Him . This suggests again a choice of ours not just to wait for a Mitzvah to come along , but to go after it , desperately wanting to fulfill it with love - to " follow " after it with a full heart . To Follow HaShem Only and His Decrees and Mitzvos only , to not just observe them " Tishmeru , " but also to ' Shomer ' ( the root word within " Tishmeru " ) , to ' Guard ,' them and make sure they are never broken , and then to "Va' Asitem Otam ," - " And Do them , " with our whole being , body and soul and heart . And if we can get to a stage like that , we will warrant to go beyond the time of Mashiach ( the number 7 ) and bring about Olam Habah , the step after Mashiach comes , represented as it starts with the number 8 , and if we count the words in the first verse of this Parsha , of the last Parsha in the third book of the Torah Vayikra - the Book of the Priests , we see that there are 8 words in the verse . Often in Yiddishkeit , we have the idea of the holy 7 leading into 8 , like the Shabbos that will continue when it becomes Eternal to us , or the counting of the Omer for Seven Weeks and then that next day ( 50th day ) is the 8th day after that 7th week .
First the Sedra discusses the blessings and then the curses . The Curses sound very harsh , and are much longer then the Blessings , and this is due to human nature having a Yetzer Horah that needs strictness at times . But even in these Curses and these negative things that come upon the Wrong-doers , there is with Well Meaning HaShem , a hidden Blessing within each Curse , where each curse can be turned around into a Blessing if only we listen . So if we listen , all the Curses will be turned the other way around , and become Blessings . All Curses are thus designed to eventually bring the Jew back to HaShem in Obedience . As strong as these Tochachah Admonitions sound , Listening to HaShem's Decrees and His Mitzvos , will lead us all back to our intended destiny with HaShem . These Tochachah Admonitions , were Said by HaShem , where as the Tochacha in Devarim , were related by Moshe Rabbeinu . The Haftorah , in Yirmeyahu 16:9 - 17:4 speaks with the same ideas of choosing to obey HaShem . The path to HaShem is to follow HaShem's " Bechukosai " - " Decrees " and Laws . Then HaShem can let us all go to Shamaim , where HaShem's Love Will Abound . Shamamim can just be a choice away , depending on what we choose . HaShem's Blessings Are Endless , so may we all choose the Right Path , the Path of HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu . 
I wish HaShem with Love , a Very Special and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with much Love and to my beloved Ima A"H with much and endearing love and to all my fellow Jews , a very special and beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .
