The People

Ki Tavo | Deuteronomy, Devorim | 5727

This discourse was delivered by the Rebbe on Shabbat Sedra Ki Tavo (Diaspora), 5727 (1967). The farmer's Temple declaration includes 'Look down from Your sacred abode and bless Your people, Israel', where 'people' and 'Israel' seem to be two separate categories. The discourse reveals why the seemingly lower designation 'people' precedes the exalted name 'Israel', showing that the simple folk carry a hidden quality that even the spiritually elevated can learn from.
