Since the word literally means “heel,” Rashi explains that this verse
refers to “the relatively light commandments that a person tramples with
his heels.”
Mitzvot which are done only once a year are done with excitement. But
everyday mitzvot, such as praying, are often met with lethargy. Let us
learn from Avraham Avinu to do all mitzvot with eagerness. He awoke
early and saddled his donkey himself in preparation for Akeidat Yitzchak.
The traits of alacrity and humility are closely related. The humble one
hurries to fulfill Hashem’s wish. On the 15th of Av, the wealthy Jewish
daughters would willingly share their beautiful clothes with those of
lesser means.

“This shall be the reward when you hearken to
these ordinances, and you observe and perform
them; Hashem, your G-d, will safeguard for you
the covenant and the kindness that He swore to
your forefathers”

(Devarim 7:12)
