Eikev: (the) Big Deal

Eikev is interpreted by Rashi ( quoting Chazal) as the mitzvoth that get trampled underfoot, the minor details that Gd won't care about.

The Parsha goes on to write the contract for the big deal: If you will carefully heed the mitzvoth, you will have an easy and long life. As in any contract, the devil is in the details, the eikev.

The middle of the parsha tells us not to forget the contract and remind us that the contract had been broken before.

Is this consciousness of the importance of the details the motivation behind the black hat?

Throw away the details and you are reform, emphasize the details and you are Haredi.

I think, just enjoy the details... and be very afraid lest you violate an important one. ( and who knows which are the important ones?)

There is an answer, but it is so deep in your heart that you may be afraid to go there.
