This parsha is actually known for its negative curses, but the fact is that the very first part of parsha speaks of ‘simcha’ celebrating joyously the fruits of our lives. Here the ‘birkunim’ are in baskets with the various items that we bring from our gardens and appreciating the gift of our homes and our relationships. The dove and pigeon are attached to the offerings. In the background are two of the twelve stones that were put up with the Torah inscribed on them. And the darker figures by the mountain where curses are mentioned, they suffer from the rejection of mitzvot.
