Description

Introducing the turning point of פרק ט"ו by asking three questions about Amalek: 1) Why does the navi set up Amalek as opposed to the Pelishtim as the ultimate nemesis of Shaul? 2) What makes Amalek's behavior so much more unacceptable than other nations who attacked Am Yisrael? 3) Why is the mitzva of installing a king fundamentally linked with the mitzva to fight Amalek?
