Parashat Ki Tavo: A Fallen Torah

Among the sobering warnings in this portion, we find the severe decree: “Cursed be he who does not uphold the words of this Torah.” What does it truly mean to “uphold” the Torah? Is this a warning against individual lapses in ritual observance, or does it demand a profounder, collective responsibility to sustain its spirit?
