Are You Chasing It, or Is It Chasing You? • Parshas Ki Savo • Ep. 449

Ki Savo promises that the blessings will chase you down and overtake you. But who runs away from a bracha in the first place? And what does it even mean that a bracha has to catch you, if Hashem already promised you would get it?Hold that question, and listen to this. A young father in kollel dies, and his nine-and-a-half-year-old son shuts down completely. The specialist's diagnosis runs several conditions long, and the treatment plan costs more money than the family will ever see. So the mother goes to the Rosh Yeshiva of Chibin and asks him to pay for it. He listens to the whole thing, and then he asks to meet the boy, sits down on the floor, and plays a game with him for hours. Months later the therapy is finished, the medication is finished, and the diagnoses are simply gone.See what the story and the pasuk have in common. Two weeks before Rosh Hashana, it changes what you should be asking for.
