The opening of this shiur, in Parsha Podcast with Ari Goldwag’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

You're listening to the weekly para podcast with Ari Goldwag recorded with Hashem's neverending assistance in Shamish Israel 5785 2025. This week's para is paras and our para starts off in chapter behold I am placing before you today a blessing and a curse. There's an opportunity in life. In every moment, moment, we have a choice between a life of blessing or a life of a curse. Heaven forbid. What does it look like? What does it mean to choose the blessings? When you choose to fulfill, you listen to the commandments of Hashem your God that I'm commanding you today. That's what the blessings are. The blessings are and the blessings come. We keep the are and the blessings come. We keep the mitzvah. We have a purpose in life. We're aligned with Hashem's will. We're aligned with what's really good in the world. So, we have a feeling of blessings in our life. If we feel Hashem is in our life, it's important to point out the word braha we're blessings. Root of it is buff. B is two r is 200 and is 20. So it's 222. It's the doubling. It's the rebui. It's the increasing. There's the rebui. It's the increasing. There's there's the spiritual aspect of reality. When it's infused into the physical aspect of reality, we experience blessings in our lives. We can try to grab all the things that are blessings. We can try to rob, steal, do all kinds of wrong acts in order to get it, but that's not where the blessings really come from. And there's no satisfaction in that. The braha is the mitzvah. The braha is fulfilling the commandments. The braha, the blessings
