After hearing all the amazing brahas that kalisol can receive by listening to the toin performing the mitzvah, the tora now turns to the clawless, the curses that can befall a person if he abandons the to the mitzvah. It's known as the to the rebuke that in many communities and shors they actually read it very quietly so as not to hear the painful curses. Its chilling account are even more scary because throughout the generations we've even witnessed some of these curses come true. The parish almost ends with these curses with the to but the tora right before ending parishai and vayikra sticks in one more subject with the sugya of the monetary evaluation of a man and a woman should he want to donate his value to the ba mikdash what's the connection between the the rebuke and the terrible curses and the sugen of how a person can evaluate his worth. The Katskar Rebber explained that throughout the years of Kalalus's existence, we've been persecuted, humiliated, degraded, and it takes a toll. Eventually, a person can even think and look at himself, what am I really worth? And the Torah is telling us this week that it doesn't make a difference what people say about you. It doesn't even make a difference what they do to you. The intrinsic value of a yid will always remain intact and is always cherished by the raid. The closeni lost a wife 11 children and his entire community by the holocaust. He went through some of the worst horrors in the concentration camps on the death marches and in the darkest of times had the most amazing yuna pure faith in the rabbi using sometimes superhuman efforts to be able to keep shabas kashas and many other mitzvah as he was once being beaten by the Nazis yak shimom they turned to him and they said rabbi do you still believe that you are the chosen nation the reb looks up at him and says absolutely absolutely cuz as long as we are the ones that are being beaten but not beating anybody else, we remain the chosen nation. The to this week gives us a very powerful message and that is it's irrelevant what people will ever say about us and it's irrelevant what they'll even do to us. Our intrinsic beautiful pure value always remains what it is. That's the connection between the two subjects. Have an amazing Shabas.
