We are reminded that we are a unique People.Upon entering Israel, we were to inscribe the Torah on 12 large stones & recite both blessings & curses in the valley between Mts. Eival & Grizim. If we follow the Torah, we are promised great blessings & protection from harm. But if we stray from Hashem, we are left open to all the curses which may accrue against us. The Tochacha describes these horrors in graphic detail.
The Parsha ends as Moshe recalls the myriad miracles performed by G-d on our behalf.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
