The reason good people are afraid to get into fights is because of the fear of "getting their hands dirty". The fear that getting involved will stir up the bad sides of our psyche ("I'm not built for this", etc.). True Bnei Torah conduct their public and private struggles altruistically, for the sake of heaven. They do not personally hate – neither the Arabs, nor on the other hand, the anarchists or those who blocked their parking spot. They simply fight the injurious out of respect for the image of God within, and this will be reflected accordingly in their struggle.
This principle is also true for the spiritual work of the month of Elul, in which we "hang" our sins "on a tree". We do not give up on ourselves but are careful "not to complain about our villainy"; we do not pour the baby out with the water and decide that we are fundamentally corrupt and the situation is hopeless. We may have sinned, but the image of God always remains within us, we can always rectify; in this world or the next.

Israel and the Nations A Few Minutes & Many Innovative Ideas on Antisemitism & What to do About It
As we approach the High Holidays, this short lecture (18 minutes) deals with the unfortunate situation of how Israel and the Jewish People stand against antisemitism, analyzing its cause according to Rav Kook, and how to deal with the issue pragmatically & via our prayers.
Ha'azinu PURSUIT is PERFECTION
p. Ha'azinu, Shabbat Shuva
Rav Kook deals with the question of the seemingly hopeless nature of Tshuva. For G-d Himself knows that He created us with free will, which inevitably means we will sometimes make mistakes and choose wrong. This can easily be frustrating, freezing us into inaction and ye'ush (loss of hope). If one sins even once, does he chalila have no choice but suicide?! Moreover, our Godly conscience demands justice, righteousness and perfection, but we all know this is impossible, so what's the solution? Rav Kook's innovative thinking, strongly based on chazal (our sages), offers an inciteful and important aspect to this topic, especially this time of year!
