Dvar Torah- Ki Tavo
This week's Torah portion contains the following phrase:

in the morning you shall say, "Would that it were evening!" and in the evening you shall say, "Would that it were morning!"

(Deut. 28:67)

The most traditional interpretation of this curse is that it is a fairly specific curse that threatens to punish Jews for fairly specific misconduct.

But isn't this "curse" really the human condition? That is, isn't it natural for humans to wish we were in some other time, some other place? (I know it is for me - though since I teach two classes in the morning and am free in the evenings, I tend not to wish it was morning quite as often as I wish it was evening).

If so, maybe the Torah is trying to tell us that good behavior will somehow help us avoid that temptation.
