Body: My beloved, respected brothers, I have a holy obligation to add words to what we discussed yesterday, when you honored me with your visit to my house. First, I make a short prayer to the Master of Peace that He will enable my words, which emanate from a deep place in my soul, to arrive safely in your pure hearts, so that they will promote a foundation of peace in our dear moshava, your and our Petach Tikva, may it develop well.
I am protesting quietly the letter that I received today, due to the honor of its signees. I am depending on the delicateness of your elevated spirits, that like me, you realize the responsibility is too great this time to find the exactly correct degree [to which to aim the urgency of these words].

I also want to speak clearly about all matters upon which there may be disagreement. Regarding the voting process, a committee should be chosen by the two parties, and those chosen should choose a neutral party that they both agree to.
If my eye condition did not make it difficult for me to write, I would write at length pleasantries, as befits such respected people as you, that are appropriate under the circumstances you are in. In any case, I hope that you will come out [of this period] with honor and grandeur, adorned by the glow of peace and the crown of bravery that befits one who demonstrates self-control, which is the most beloved glory of the valorous.
Now I must end my letter, doing so with every feeling of blessing and reliable love, as we look for national salvation and the raising of the stature of Israel and the spreading out of a booth of peace on Hashem’s nation and land. I have in mind to bless every individual who helps the foundation of peace in the moshava with a good year, adorned with everything good, with an abundance of long, productive life and peace.
I do not need to explain to honest people like you that all means that the council develops to alleviate the difficulty of making municipal payments, if they do so, will be done without discrimination between one party and the other. Also, they should not look for stringencies in the process of setting up voting groups and becoming a committee member. These are all things that I will strongly trust the council to do itself with the most complete attribute of honesty.

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.
