A Light Unto The Nations

Rabbi Cherki - What to do with Hamas?

I'll tell You unpopular things.

Everyone talks about that following all the incidents, people have awakened, prayer, unity in the nation, millions of emotions,
how we are a nation that sanctifies mercy, them sanctifying death, and all such things...a feeling of evacuation of Gush Katif.

These things are good, I'm not saying anything against, only that there's a missing of the main point.
The main point is that (they) don't know what to do. Right?

And then "we'll catch them, show them, get them into jail or kill them or don't know what.
And we'll destroy the infrastructure of the militants" etc.

It's like if You cross on a red light, the judge gives You, a yeshiva student, a punishment to not enter disco for 5 years.
It doesn't deter. As a matter of fact to get killed, to fight them, for them, it's a victory.

This is not what deters, and our prayers neither deter them, nor that we say we're better than them, that doesn't even scratch them.
So we need to know what is from the point of view of our enemies a defeat.

Whoever commits any attack, You take him and his village as they are and move them to another land.

And the houses, as they are, You give to Jews to build a city.
There, not anywhere else, there.

That's all.

And it should be mentioned, that we're discussing a tribal society,
the minute one group is moved to another place, they will finish them there. Very simple.

Such a thing is loss of territory, from their point of view this is the defeat.
There's a need to know what's in the head of the adversary.

To kill him is not a defeat at all, because it's his thing, not because of the virgins, because it's his thing,
his thing to go out to wars. And as long as we don't act like this, these incidents will unfortunately repeat.

Israeli Cultural Revolution - Passion For The Temple | The Imaginative Force | Prophetic Cinema

"Those of vast grasping, their force of imagination is great and very exalted." - Rabbi Kook




At least among us Jews, those who have a grasp of knowledge,
are those of great imagination. And then there's great daring,
in their descriptions, their thoughts.

We can see this among the prophets.
We can also see this among Kabbalists.
The terminology is full of imaginative power.

Which causes superficial people to think all these folks are confused and need psychiatric hospitalization. But they don't need any, they are entirely normal people. With that, they have great imaginative power, breaking many borders.




In the scientific field, until Psychoanalysis none of this was known. The Freudian psychoanalysis revealed great depths within the human subconscious, symbolic thinking.
Also later, Jung has many observations of this kind - the collective unconscious...the ocean of souls.

So, "those of vast grasping, their force of imagination is great and very exalted, and it's connected with visions that are more general in reality. And according to their courage,
and purity of their spirit, the imaginative power enacts itself through them. To draw exalted imaginations, that the light of the high truth reveals by them. In such revelations that no logical mind can reach".

What does Rabbi Kook want from us? That we are not to be scared of meeting people
of such imaginative force, that we don't think it's a shortcoming, moreover - it is an advantage.

Possibly Rabbi Kook wants something else, besides not being scared to meet such people, rather Rabbi Kook tells You: "Maybe You, the reader, You are one of these great people,
that You don't get scared seeing You have imaginative power that is great ,
use it for these sacred purposes.".

Courage and Strength - The beginning of Prophecy (a)

Holy community, dear family we won't be talking long. We have to touch the essence,
as things are clarified by Rambam in the 'Guide for the Preplexed', 2nd part ch. 45.

Rambam discusses the levels of prophecy, beside the prophecy of Mosheh, there are 11 levels
of prophecy according to Rambam - and he discusses which is the first one, we'll deal only with the first one.

The first degree of prophecy consists in the divine assistance which is given to a person, and induces and encourages him to do something good and grand, e.g., to deliver a congregation of good men from the hands of evildoers; to save one noble person, or to bring happiness to a large number of people; he finds in himself the cause that moves and urges him to this deed.

This degree of divine influence is called “the spirit of the Lord”; and of the person who is under that influence we say that the spirit of the Lord came upon him, clothed him, or rested upon him, or the Lord was with him, and the like. All the judges of Israel possessed this degree, for the following general statement is made concerning them:—“The Lord raised up judges for them; and the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them” (Judges 2:18). Also all the noble chiefs of Israel belonged to this class. The same is distinctly stated concerning some of the judges and the kings:—“The spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah” (ibid. 11:29); of Samson it is said, “The spirit of the Lord came upon him” (ibid. 14:19); “And the spirit of the Lord came upon Saul when he heard those words” (1 Sam. 11:6). When Amasa was moved by the holy spirit to assist David, “A spirit clothed Amasa, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David,” etc.(1 Chron. 12:18).

This faculty was always possessed by Moses from the time he had attained the age of manhood: it moved him to slay the Egyptian, and to prevent evil from the two men that quarrelled; it was so strong that, after he had fled from Egypt out of fear, and arrived in Midian, a trembling stranger, he could not restrain himself from interfering when he saw wrong being done; he could not bear it. Comp. “And Moses rose and saved them” (Exod. 2:17). David likewise was filled with this spirit, when he was anointed with the oil of anointing. Comp. “And the spirit of God came upon David from that day and upward” (1 Sam. 16:13). He thus conquered the lion and the bear and the Philistine, and accomplished similar tasks, by this very spirit.

This faculty did not cause any of the above-named persons to speak on a certain subject,
for it only aims at encouraging the person who possesses it to action;" - Guide for the Perplexed, Part 2 45:4


This is the spirit of HaShem, when we see mighty heroes rising to rescue, we know this is the beginning of the degree of prophecy. And we're in a very unique age, the nation of Israel returns to the land, the nation of Israel becomes the majority of the Jewish people in its land - we're going towards the renewal of prophecy.

(00:00-04:00)

When HaShem restores the return of Zion, we were as dreaming
Then our mouths shall be filled with laughter and our tongues with song
They say among the nations, great Has HaShem done to these, we rejoiced" - King David

Have you ever listened to Finkelstein?

Yeah, the Stockholm syndrome is not a joke.
Big sages before the Holocaust, taught
about the diaspora as an ideal
state appropriate of the time.

Finkelstein is the Dan tribe
