As we approach October 7th, the Torah's teachings on unity and resilience resonate with renewed urgency. The Bikkurim ceremony in Ki Tavo highlights the importance of unity, as Jewish farmers would offer their first fruits to God in a festive celebration. The opening phrase of the ceremony, 'Arami Oved Avi,' can be interpreted in different ways, either referring to attempts to destroy the Jewish people or Jacob's wandering. Recalling familial conflicts during the ceremony reminds us of the role of unity in our history and challenges us to strive for harmony. As the anniversary of a tragic event approaches, the disunity and infighting in Israel are concerning. Unity is crucial for our morale and national security, and we must continually strive towards it.
