Vehaya KiTavo

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Sedra Ki Tavo, 5743 (1983). The Sedra commands the Jewish people to bring First Fruits to the Temple upon entering the Land of Israel, making a public declaration of gratitude. A Midrash compares this to prayer, and the discourse explores how the act of bringing First Fruits embodies both personal thanksgiving and communal testimony, revealing deep connections between gratitude, prayer, and the relationship between Israel and G-d.
