Alvin Marcus, Rabbi Emeritus
Guy Dvir, Associate Rabbi Sephardi Minyan

Ekev

By: Rabbi Eliezer Zwickler

 Perhaps the most difficult theological question we find is that of suffering.  Why is there so much suffering in this world?  At times, we see this is the case with very righteous people. In Parshas Eikev, we are told that Hashem chastises His people just like a father would chastise his son. The implication, based on this analogy, is that Hashem loves us dearly, even though He chastises us severely at times. How are we to truly understand this phenomenon? The Maggid Mimezrits explains that this analogy is most appropriate. When a child begins to walk, his father distances himself from the child in order to encourage him. The child may fall. Nevertheless, the desire to reach his father increases. Similarly, when Hashem chastises one of his children, His intention is to bring them closer to Him. Sometimes, He causes us to fall in order for us to strive to become closer to Him. May we strive in our lives to grow on a regular basis, and to improve our relationship with the Creator.
