R' Ytzchak Yoseph B"R Chaim Shlomoh
Even one who studies properly, comes prepared for the test, and succeeds in passing it, must still gain a lot of experience and skill before being capable of driving as he should. During the first stages, while the driver is still amateur and lacking experience, he does not know how to decide if his own speed is high in relation to that of the situation on the road. There is a tendency to increase one's speed. There is an inner, psychological drive to demonstrate confidence, to show that one is not afraid. This drive is not necessarily directed towards others. The driver may be trying to prove to himself that he is not afraid. This inner drive exists in each one of us.
Even those who harbor a sincere desire to drive properly and in keeping with the law have a tendency to drive too quickly. This is because they do not know how to gauge properly at what speed to drive according to the traffic situation and the condition of the road. Do not think, young driver, that because you drive a little bit slower this is a sign of indecisiveness. To the contrary, it evidences maturity, responsibility, efficacy, and confidence. Speeding, on the other hand, demonstrates lack of confidence. A person covers up for himself by behaving in a manner opposite his true self. One must be strong, overcome weaknesses, and drive at a speed which allows for guaranteed control of the automobile. In this manner, one can be ready for whatever sort of situation may arise. When driving with friends, too, one must drive at a normal speed and not be lured into driving fast.
After three months on the road, one suddenly becomes aware of a great difference in his manner of driving compared to when he started out. After driving for an entire year, one comes to the realization that even after three months he still had not really know how to drive, and that it takes a lot of experience in order to know how to drive properly. Therefore, young drivers, new drivers, please, for your own sake and for the sake of others, be cautious. If you are at all uncertain as to whether or not you are driving too quickly, slow down to the point at which you feel that you are in complete control of the situation. If we exert ourselves, and take added precautions, in the spirit of the Torah's admonition to "be exceedingly careful to protect yourselves," we will no doubt hear less about automobile accidents.

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.
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.
