True peace

Wouldn't it be something for Prime Minister Netanyahu to propose a peace plan based upon this week's parsha? What if he were to read the opening sentences of Parshat Bechukotai at the Knesset?

Chapter 26

The following is a devar Torah from Revach.

"V'Nasati Sholom BaAretz UShichavtem V'ein Macharid;I will give peace in the land and you will sleep and not tremble." Is that the best reason for peace? The Maharal Tzintz brings the Gemara in Brachos (55) that says that Dovid HaMelech never had a good dream at night during his entire reign. The reason is that he was constantly fighting wars. Even though he was victorious, the mere fact that he was constantly engaged in warfare did not let him have a peaceful dream.
Hashem promises us that if we keep the mitzvos, we will live in an era of true peace. Warfare will not be on anyone's mind, and we will all sleep peacefully.
