“[this was a curse]and the more someone works, the more “curse” they are bringing on themselves”
WOW!Would you mind showing me the source for the last part of your sentence? Are you implying that the Torah feels it brings a bracha on one who remains idle (versus getting a curse for working)? Or is it perhaps a curse on WOMEN to do the work, while their husbands learn? Does that mean Hashem cursed women with TWO curses? I think people have to be very careful with making statements such as the one you made. And I would like to explore the source of your comment, to understand it better. Perhaps we can both learn something new. My understanding was also that Hashem specifically told Klal Yisroel that following the Torah would result in a bountiful harvest for them. Doesn’t SOMEBODY have to do all that harvesting? So which is it, a bracha or a chalilah NOT a bracha?
