5784 will be a year of dissolution of the delusion of economic collapse – because an absolute majority of Israeli citizens do not want to harm themselves, and a modern economy does not collapse because of the craziness of individuals.
5784 will be a year of dissolution of the delusion of a military collapse – because most of the security forces in the field has already been out of the hands of the anarchists for a long time, and the minority that remains – does not want to commit suicide in real time.
5784 will be a year of dissolution of the delusion of the destruction of the state – because we are surrounded by crumbling Arab countries and existential terror organizations, Israeli Arabs are depleting themselves, and Jewish demography is constantly increasing.
5784 will be a year of dissolution of the delusion of waves emigration from the country – because Europe is awash with Muslims, the United States is immersed in its own problems, and "relocation" is an unrealistic fantasy for a normal person who needs community and family.
5784 will be a year of dissolution of the delusion of a minority that will run the country – because the State of Israel does not number three million Jews as it did fifty years ago, but eight million, and anyone who threatens – even if he is a pilot, doctor or Milky (a dairy pudding) manufacturer – can be replaced.
5784 will be a year of dissolution of the delusions of the end of the world and mystical signs - earthquakes in Morocco, floods in Greece, a new strain of coronavirus, artificial intelligence, global warming and alien hysteria in the United States - do not indicate anything except that every generation has challenges, and as history progresses, people gain more experience, technology and faith to act with responsibly and overcome everything. It’s called Divine Providence in the world.
Shana Tova!

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.
