How do we know our mistakes? This parsha is famed for its listing of harsh things that can befall us for abandoning truth. The parsha begins though, with the instruction to bring the first fruits we raise to the temple, showing our gratitude. The Zohar here speaks to checking our shadow which mystically contains our misdoings and misjudgments and will reveal our spiritual flaws, and yet we still can head to the light – to the source of all – to the Creator – to appreciating the wonder of each day.
