Description
What is the idea of the blessings that we get when we keep the Torah, and the curses that come when we do not keep the Torah? Why are we careful to read all the curses without interruption?

How does listening to the commandments of Hashem serve to limit our ego and bring about these blessings? What is the idea of the blessings that come 'of their own accord' when we do the mitzvos? Find out in this week's Parsha Podcast.
