Asher Ishaayahu Ben Rivka
The gemarah (Megilah 16b) quotes Rabbi Elazar who expounds Bereishit 45:14 to teach that when he embraced Binyamin, Yosef wept over the future destruction of the two Temples which were built in Binyamin’s portion of Eretz Yisrael. Binyamin wept when they embraced because of the future destruction of Mishkan Shiloh in Yosef's portion of Eretz Yisrael. At this dramatic encounter of the only two children of Rachel Imaynu, two brothers who had not seen each other since childhood, their first reaction was to weep because they foresaw the future Galut of Bnei Yisrael!
Now we can understand why Chazal chose this Haftorah for this Parshah. At the same time that we mourn the destruction of our Temple and suffer the pain of Galut, we recall with joy and gladness the assurance that Hashem will grant us final redemption.
What better time than the present when we are privileged to witness the beginning of that redemption to dedicate ourselves to the welfare and future of Eretz Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael. Above all to realize that there can be no greater support for Eretz Yisrael and no greater assurance of its growth and future than Aliyah L'aretz.

Re’eh
Giving is more than an act of generosity—it is an essential part of human dignity that belongs to everyone, rich and poor alike. The ultimate goal of help is to empower others to stand on their own.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 9 - "Seeing is Believing" (parag. 21-30)
These paragraphs elaborate on the theme that seeing and knowing is better than any attempt to prove logically, and begins explaining the difference between Israel and gentiles.
Ein Aya Various Universal Stages of the Geula Process
Rav Kook examines the various stages of redemption, explaining how (in addition to the obvious oft-mentioned stages of ingathering the exiles, reviving the Hebrew language, army, state etc.) the messianic dream of world prosperity, the State of Israel and world unity can and are realistically and logically gradually coming true.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 8- "Answering Questions on the Kuzari's Proof from Mass Revelation
How do we know that the "claim" of mass revelation to 2,000,000 witnesses at Mt. Sinai is really true? This important class answers all of the questions skeptics ask about this claim of the Kuzari.
Ein Aya Armies Still Necessary for Balance & the War Against Wars
Rav Kook explains why the world was originally divided into the various seemingly contradicting ideologies and cultures, in order to develop each one respectively. Swords or armies symbolize how each respective ideology defends themselves, as well as deters their opposing ideologies and cultures. On the other hand, the messianic era will be one of peace, and Rav Kook explains the transition to that stage, which mankind is already undergoing.
