The Holocaust was the final nail in the coffin of the exile that lasted 2000 years, 2000 years in which the Jewish people were massacred, since they did not have a country, government or the power to defend.
October 7th is undoubtedly one of the darkest days in the history of the Jewish people, but it is on the historical continuum of our return to the land, a return in which there are also falls and disasters. October 7th is a dark window into the days of exile; 14 hours of darkness in which we tasted a bitter drop from the poisoned cup our grandparents drank on a daily basis. Fourteen hours later, and in fact already during them, the State of Israel recovered and fought back against its enemies.
So yes, the surprise was great and the blow hard and painful, but thank God there is a state, and there is an army, and there are heroic fighters who came and prevented a much bigger disaster.
Statements from the progressive line of thought such as "the State of Israel ended on October 7th"; "we are back in the days of the Holocaust"; "we have made no progress in the last 80 years" – are false and hollow. The State of Israel did not end on October 7th; we are not back in the days of the Holocaust; and certainly, the world and the Jewish people have made miraculous progress in the last 80 years.
We will painfully mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, and we will painfully mark the day of remembrance that will be established in memory of the tragedy that befell us this year – but we will not be ungrateful to God, blessed be He, Who is moving us forward generation to generation and from year to year.
The evil will pass
The good will prevail

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
Ekev DANCE FOR ISRAEL- FOR YOUR BENEFIT
Parshat Eikev
Description: The 7 Haftarot we read after Tisha B'Av ("Shiva D'Nichemta") surely get us excited that they're coming TRUE, and awaken us to yearn, dance & join the return to Zion! The short article also deals with the problems and solutions facing the American Jewish community as discussed at a recent panel, as well as the question why Jews come from America to Israel to help when we face problems, but Israelis don't come to aid Jews in America when they face anti-Semitism.

D'varim Judaism’s Social Vision
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.
