Body: I am at this moment visiting the pleasant moshava Rechovot, may it be built firmly. I am totally enchanted with the hope and consolation Hashem provides, as I see with my eyes the increasing adornment of what was previously our desired but desolate Land, as our brethren, who are scattered in exile, slowly return to it.

My dear friend, your dear letter, was like lightning from the sky, with the plans you sent me for the newspaper, "Ha’ivri" (The Hebrew). I read it, and my spirit was filled with life. The vitality of my earlier days, and the dew of your childhood flashed before my eyes, together with the image of the storehouse of a life of sanctity and love, which the brilliant man of Israel, our mentor, your father zt"l, represented. He possessed the living national soul from its holy source.
To the extent that my weak hand will be able to be helpful, I am prepared, without making an oath, to serve the holy organization, who are founding and expanding the newspaper. They are unique individuals of unblemished minds. I am happily ready for whatever you will ask of me, because we have kindred spirits.
May you, my dear one, be strong and bold, along with all the special people who partner with you. With a bold spirit, raise the banner of the light of Hashem over His nation and His lot, before the eyes of all of Bnei Yisrael, who are thirsting to see things that are full of life and staying power, things that come from the source of the living wellspring that is connected to the living soul of Hashem, which is found in the chosen nation. It presents itself with a crown of grandeur and splendor from the depths of the reliable emotions and clear light and wisdom.
I am looking forward with a yearning of the heart for the realization of your holy, beloved project and for the expansion of your steps on the path of life with the help of Hashem’s powerful "right hand."

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.
