Eikev—meaning “if…” or “as a result of…”— is an interesting parashah and is referred to in WRJ’s The Torah: A Women’s Commentary as, “Conditions for Life in the Land.” Throughout this parashah, we are reminded of the central position that the Promised Land has in the relationship between God and Israel and that it is a “good land” and a land of “milk and honey.”
