What are the fundamental ideas that underpin the blessing and curse sections of Parashat Ki Tavo, and how can we make organizational sense of these sections in light of these ideas? By exploring these questions we learn about the relationship between God and Israel and its sanctity and holiness, and the importance that the Torah places on economic prosperity, but only as a means to enable Israel to realize its destiny as a holy people and an earthly representative of malkhut Hashem.
