Body : 4. Tours of the country – From my perspective, I must make "road trips" a few times a year to various places throughout the Yishuv and stay a few days in each moshava, to see how to fix the situation regarding religion and Torah at each place, and how to remove every spiritual pitfall. Every such trip in the Holy Land, which is still, in our great sins, [physically] desolate and does not have railways that make such trips comfortable and inexpensive, requires expending great toil and significant monetary expenditure. This requires a special fund, in order to carry it out in an appropriately dignified enough manner.
5. A yeshiva to train new rabbinic leaders who are fit for the challenges of the time – [This is a topic that has come up several times, and therefore we will not see Rav Kook’s presentation of the matter.]
6. NPO to promote religious growth – In general we should found a special, sacred, large organization for the purpose of and with the name of "… for the Strengthening of Judaism that is Loyal to Hashem and His Torah in the New Yishuv in Eretz Yisrael." It needs to establish a central office in one of the important cities in the Diaspora. This organization should be the driving force for all of the practical steps that we want to take, with Hashem’s good grace, in order to elevate the stature [of authentic Judaism] in the spirit of Hashem on holy soil.
7. A publication for the NPO – When such an organization will be established, with Hashem’s help, it will undoubtedly require a mode of public expression set aside for its use in whatever language that is most capable of influencing the surroundings in which it will begin to operate and need to show its abilities. However, on this point, there is still time to discuss the matter until the time that at least the significant beginnings of those steps that rightly precede it will take place, based on what we have explained.

With this, I have revealed for your honor a small amount of the matters I think about. I pray that your spirit and heart will be with us, and together we will elevate Hashem’s Name. May Hashem’s light and salvation appear upon us, bringing salvation to His pride, Israel, from Zion, may it happen speedily in our days.

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.
