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.

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.
