There are several reasons for the fourth stage: objective prolongation of combat in a complex area; international pressure, some of which are beyond our control; and of course, the professional weakeners at home, who, after a slight awakening, returned to their shortsightedness, hatred and protest.
In the Torah portion "Beshalah," which we will read this Shabbat, we will learn about the mitzvah of wiping out Amalek. The central characteristic of the mitzvah of the destruction of Amalek is its totality. Rabbi David Abudarham, a 14th-century commentator, put it this way: "you shall expunge the memory of Amalek – even over the trees and under the stones". The Torah knew the human soul and its tendency toward incompleteness. Even after it becomes clear that the war is existential in the face of total evil, there is burn out and escape to fantasies that it’s sufficient to just partially wipe them out.
Thank God that the reality is stronger than all weaknesses and delusions. It is impossible to avoid the absolute destruction – above the trees and under the stones – of Hamas, and it is impossible to run away from an ongoing war that will eventually yield victory; it is worthwhile to minimize damage along the way. Now is the time to join responsible organizations such as the reservists' protest and the Tikva Forum of the families of the hostages – the people who are really paying the price of this war – and understand that there is only one option here: "expunge the memory of Amalek from under the heavens", or in more modern language: it's either us or them!
The evil will pass
The good will prevail
With the help of God

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.
Shlach Lecha "Why So Many Don't Make Aliya?" - Parshat Shlach
This short article deals with the weird phenomena that every single time Am Yisrael is meant to enter the Land of Israel, throughout the Tanach, 2nd Temple and until today, they "chicken out" and look for excuses. What's the problem with this mitzvah that proves so challenging. The article, based on sources, suggests that the difficulties of Eretz Yisrael is precisely her secret and beauty!
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 4
The class deals with Islam and how the Muslim tries convincing the King of the Khazars, and why he was also rejected.
Beha'alotcha JEWISH STATE= GUIDE TO G-DLINESS & SELFLESSNESS
A Jewish State not only is a good idea, but educates us towards selflessness, altruism and G-dliness in our daily lives.
Ein Aya In Zion Even the Smoke of the Bark is Sweet
Just as Jewish nationalism is different from others, so too our capitol of Jerusalem is totally different than other national capitols. Rav Kook beautifully explains the passage in the Talmud that the trees of Yerushalayim were cinnamon trees.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 3
The second speaker invited to convince the Khazar King is the Christian, who presents their beliefs. Even before the questions of the King, "between the lines", the author R. Yehuda HaLevi already begins disproving them.
Ein Aya "Intimacy: Love, Life & Giving or Egocentric Taking & Expiration"
Today, many confuse between intimacy in marriage, based on love, giving and life which are diametrically opposed to empty "sex", pornography and prostitution which destroyed the Beit HaMikdash. The practical importance of clarifying this topic in today's western society is obvious, especially for young adults.
