The commandment of the red heifer is to take the total life force that a "big cow", full of redness, upon which "a yoke was not placed" – and to sprinkle its ashes on one who came in contact with a dead person. In other words: to add living flesh and blood in this world; by adding life to conquer death. Rav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook has a wonderful parable that likens death to water that is overflowing the edges of the vessel that can no longer contain it. There is a situation in which the body can no longer contain the soul, the cup of life overflows, and the soul "overflows" and connects to eternal life.
In a world where terrorists in the form of "fiery snakes" give the feeling that reality is managed in the form of a random "guess" that "burns" us from within – we raise our eyes to God. We will continue the lives of our holy fighters by adding life; by winning; having more children; building more and more settlements.
The bad will pass
The good will prevail
With God's help.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
