IN COOL PURSUIT

“You shall flee with no-one in pursuit” (Lev.26.17)


This is one of the curses listed in our Parsha.

Is it really a bad thing that no-one is chasing after us?
We may be running away from our own selves, from the harm of a lack of harmony within ourselves.

We are told to be of the disciples of Aharon, loving peace and pursuing peace. It is the norm that we should love to be at peace with ourselves - it may be attained if we pursue it.

Running is a good exercise provided that it is not from but to.
