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.
