Our parshah, Bekhukotai, begins with God’s promise of blessings if we follow the Torah. Among those blessings is a passage that may be familiar from the “Prayer for Peace” we say after the Torah reading: I will grant peace to the land and you shall lie down and no one will terrify you. I will rid the land of vicious beasts and no sword shall pass through your land. (Lev. 26:6)
