Look closely at today's verse; are the beautiful blessings promised by God
material or spiritual in nature, and why? Notice that only material rewards for
prosperity are listed, with no mention of earned spiritual merit. Our Sages
found this strange and explained it as follows: One who has food and security,
and all of his needs met, will find it easier to continue fulfilling God's
commandments, which obviously earns spiritual rewards as well. Join with Colel
Chabad, Israel's oldest charitable organization, in bringing down blessings to
the world and providing the poor of Israel with all their needs!
