Description

Rav Weinberger continues a piece from Rav Kooks "Oros Hatichyeh" within the commentary of Rav Avineir. Rebbe discusses that the worst part of the Galus is the fact that the Jews lost their sense of self and their manhood. The Jews are rather compared to sheep who have a personality trait of meekness. Rav Avineir says that the Jews need to take a stand and fight back. This fighting back is not a bad thing rather it comes from a places of kedusha as we know Dovid Hamelech went out to battle and although he knew everything was in Hashems hands, he made his effort to take charge. As mentioned from the Derech HaBaal Shem Tov, when one has it clear in his soul and body that Hashem fills up the whole world, being active is part of Avodas Hashem.
