Shalom Aleichem. Welcome to the weekly breast of research shear. This week is Shabbos. We are set to read Eikev. Eikev starts off "V'haya Eikev tish'me'un if you will listen in the course of listening then Hashem will guard for you his covenant covenant and his kindness that he swore to keep with our patriarchs."

Why? Because it's really one Torah. We don't know the reward for any mitzvah. We have no idea how far-reaching each step that we take is. And therefore a person should be careful with every mitzvah.
