R. Avraham ben-tziyon ben shabtai
This savage point of view inevitably resulted in the desire to destroy our nation. We remember other governors who wished to destroy the Jewish nation. They only wished to destroy but never performed any significant move, the Nazis not only wished but also carried out their wish.
The Nazi attitude may seem senseless and totally incomprehensible, but even so we cannot ignore it or regard it as an exception that will never repeat itself. This incomprehensible thing happened, with disastrous results, we cannot hope it will never reoccur - we must take all the possible measures so as to ensure that the Holocaust does not repeat itself.
Anti-Semitism is an unfortunate reality. There is envy and hate for the Jews wherever they may be, in the Land of Israel or in the Diaspora. In the present situation the Jews abroad are wealthy and successful, but there is a problem; On the one hand they act as part of the country they live in, whereas, on the other hand they feel different than all the other citizens - a separate nation. This situation does not justify anti-Semitism but it still causes a certain level of alienation. The Diaspora Jews split their loyalty between their own nation and the one they live amongst. Furthermore, these Jews have the possibility of immigrating to Israel and not having to suffer from the unfortunate alienation.
The solution therefore is inevitable: So as to prevent the anti-Semitism in the Diaspora, the Diaspora Jews must immigrate to Israel. The immigration will also solve the problems of the state of Israel; The State will become stronger and will be able to cope with the anti-Semitism, till the complete restoration of the Jewish Nation.

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.
Shlach Lecha "Why So Many Don't Make Aliya?" - Parshat Shlach
This short article deals with the weird phenomena that every single time Am Yisrael is meant to enter the Land of Israel, throughout the Tanach, 2nd Temple and until today, they "chicken out" and look for excuses. What's the problem with this mitzvah that proves so challenging. The article, based on sources, suggests that the difficulties of Eretz Yisrael is precisely her secret and beauty!
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 4
The class deals with Islam and how the Muslim tries convincing the King of the Khazars, and why he was also rejected.
Beha'alotcha JEWISH STATE= GUIDE TO G-DLINESS & SELFLESSNESS
A Jewish State not only is a good idea, but educates us towards selflessness, altruism and G-dliness in our daily lives.
Ein Aya In Zion Even the Smoke of the Bark is Sweet
Just as Jewish nationalism is different from others, so too our capitol of Jerusalem is totally different than other national capitols. Rav Kook beautifully explains the passage in the Talmud that the trees of Yerushalayim were cinnamon trees.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 3
The second speaker invited to convince the Khazar King is the Christian, who presents their beliefs. Even before the questions of the King, "between the lines", the author R. Yehuda HaLevi already begins disproving them.
Ein Aya "Intimacy: Love, Life & Giving or Egocentric Taking & Expiration"
Today, many confuse between intimacy in marriage, based on love, giving and life which are diametrically opposed to empty "sex", pornography and prostitution which destroyed the Beit HaMikdash. The practical importance of clarifying this topic in today's western society is obvious, especially for young adults.
