Bechukotai
We may walk down the beaten path or we may walk up the never-beaten path. The choice is ours.
Every day is a crossroads: When we walk with the Divine, the destinations are beautiful and prosperous. The opposite is also true, a tangle of thorns and rebukes, lost in a foreign land. That is no ultimate destination, but rather a detour – albeit a very painful one – through the harshness of material cynicism. There is an eternal bond and no off-road outback can break that. When we commit our resources and our selves to the Divine dream, pledging to reclaim the path and finance it if necessary, then is there really any other path than one that come to us naturally?
