BS”D Parashat Acharei and Kedoshim 5785
HaShem who has chosen us over all other nations and has presented us with His Torah, yet they have eyes but cannot see, ears but cannot hear!

Why do Chareidim prohibit their youth from serving in the IDF? Why do some of their leaders oppose making aliyah? What is their view of current State of Yisrael?
May HaShem bless all Am Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael with good health, peace and prosperity. And bless our brothers and sisters in the galut with the need, desire, courage and vitality to be free from foreign physical and spiritual bonds and come home to fulfill the most inclusive and challenging mitzva – yishuv Eretz Yisrael.
Israel has within it the greatest potential for sanctity. The land and the very air we breathe abound with kedusha, and yet there is a war waging over the soul of our nation.
A while back, I shared my thoughts regarding where HaShem is taking us at this juncture in our long and circuitous history. With the fighting resumed, it is even more imminent than before to discuss where it is leading.
Where in our parasha is the one pasuk, actually the one word, that embodies the essence of HaShem’s relationship with Am Yisrael as a distinct and independent entity unrelated to any other nation or race and what is its parallel in Megillat Esther?
