Moshe’s "song" to the people of Israel is intended to convey a recognition of the total harmony of creation. While its verses contain a mix of past, present and future events, to Moshe these serve to further clarify the covenant between God and the Jewish people and the belief system that is essential to its fulfillment.
During the past two hundred years of Jewish life, our people have continuously had their emunah tested through their being subjected to non-stop worldwide enmity and anti-Semitism including Czarist persecution, the Holocaust, Communism and Stalin’s attempt to eradicate the Jews and, for most of the past sixty years here in Israel, continual Arab wars and terrorism. Throughout this period, our Jewish men and women have demonstrated so much bravery - specifically spiritual bravery - and invincible dedication to God , his Torah and his mitzvot. They sought guidance in halakha and solace in Torah study. As my mara d’atra, Harav Berel Wein put it so well in his recent Shabbat Nachamu message, "one must be impressed and stand in wonder at the resiliency and strength of commitment and tenacity of survival of the Jewish people and the State of Israel."
I believe that one of the opening verses in Ha'azinu provides the belief system which has enabled us to remain totally devoted to our faith in God. "A G-d of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is He." Why is it that we as a people have always been optimistic about our future? Why is that in all of the public surveys during the recent crisis in Eretz Israel, the overwhelming majority of people interviewed were unified in their support of our country’s efforts and hopeful of their outcome? The answer lies in the fact that God has and continues to make certain that we are ultimately triumphant over our enemies and able to survive as a people dedicated to the fulfillment of his Torah in the land which He promised would be our home.

The Land of Israel LGBT'S IN ISRAEL
The question was asked, how can one make Aliyah with the LGBT parades?
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 7 - Five Accumulative Proofs of G-d
As a preparation for the Kuzari's classic proof of G-d from the mass-revelation at Sinai, we start here with 5 other directions to strengthen our belief which also contribute to what the Kuzari will present as well.
Ein Aya Muscle & Meaning: The Dual Nature of Gevurah (Physical Strength)
Is physical strength and fitness a necessity or an ideal? Although it if often totally overlooked among topics of Judaism, Rav Kook writes that it clearly is also a necessity to deter the many enemies of Israel, but even in Y'mot HaMashiach, in the Messianic era, to a certain extent, it's ideal continues even after our enemies will have been finished off.
Chukat "HOW ENTEBBE STOLE THE BICENTENNIAL
The Difference Between Historic & Eternal"
As we approach America's 250th birthday, it's worth remembering her 200th Bicentennial birthday, on Jul. 4th 1976, when Israel "stole the show" by shocking the world & miraculously saving 101 hostages in a foreign continent. As Pres. As Pres. Trump decides which countries get priority in his new Middle-East, it's worth reminding him of the difference between historic events and eternally historic ones. This obviously connects with this week's parsha, as well!
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 6 - The Parable of the King of India
The advantages of testimony over circumstantial evidence or philosophical speculation.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 5- "Proofs of G-d"
This may be the most important class of the entire book, where we finally get to the Jewish proof of the existence of G-d and truth of the Torah. We should follow His own direction where He tells us how to get to Him: through the Nation of Israel: Jewish history, Jewish prophets (and today, prophecies fulfilled), and national reward & punishment towards Am Yisrael.
Ein Aya One Humanity, One Creator, One Jerusalem
Rav Kook innovatively and beautifully explains this aggadeta where our sages say that after Jerusalem was destroyed her cinnamon fragrance is only found locked in a particular kingdom's treasury.
