VERSE: Dt11-16a

========= REBELLION AGAINST GOD ONLY HAPPENS FROM SAIETY ========

 BACKGROUND
 ----------
 The Torah warns the Jews settling Israel against their defecting
 and forgetting the Torah

 THE TEXT
 --------
 The Torah uses a very strange narrative Conversational style:
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 When you EAT WELL beware lest you rebel and forget God
 -------------------------------------------------------------

 THE RASHI
 ---------
 Rashi cites a MIDRASH RABBAH: The Midrash Rabbah reviews all
 verses where Rebellion against God is metioned. Like a Modern
 university professor the Midrash discovers that in many of
 these verses EATING WELL IS MENTIONED PRIOR TO REBELLION.Hence
 the modern like statistical inference
 -------------------------------------------------------------
 SAIETY and EATING WELL INCREASE THE POTENTIAL TO FORGET
 AND/OR REBEL AGAINST GOD
 -------------------------------------------------------------

 Here are the verses
=================================================================
VERSE    TEXT OF VERSES SHOWING LINK OF SAIETY to REBELLION
=======  ========================================================
Dt06-11  When you conquer Israel & EAT WELL BEWARE against heresy
Dt08-12  When you enter Israel & EAT WELL BEWARE against heresy
Dt11-15  Ill bless you & you will EAT WELL; BEWARE against heresy
Dt31-20  The Jews will come to Israel,EAT WELL, and REBEL
Dt32-15  The Jews ATE WELL, BECAME FAT, & DESERTED GOD
Ex32-06  (By the Golden calf);the NATION ATE WELL & MOCKED
Est1     The Persians had many Parties; They plan to kill Jews*1

NOTES
=====
*1 This last example was stated by the Rav, Rabbi Soloveitchick
   The Rav suggested that the first 2 chapters PROVIDE background
   for chapter 3. The first 2 chapters describe the PARTYING that
   the PERSIANS had. By contrast the 3rd chapter describes how
   ACHASHVEYROSH consented to destroy the Jewish Community. The
   Rav concluded
   --------------------------------------------------------
   Only in an environment of fun and parties can the whimsical
   destruction of an entire nation flower
   --------------------------------------------------------

   Notice how the above LIST enriches our understanding of
   this observation of the Rav.

=================================================================

RASHI RULE USED: DOUBLE PARSHAS
