War is always a big "Shake-Up", and Rav Kook in this series, which is a lot more relevant today than when he wrote it, is a real "eye-opener". Rav Kook relates here to how, with our return to Israel after 2,000 years of exile, we are rediscovering the Original Jew, as found in the Tanach. All of the Biblical heroes had a "healthy soul in a healthy body", were, in addition to their obvious spirituality, also physically strong & military heroes. Today's commanders in the IDF, & especially the boys from the Hesder Yeshivas and Mechinot are reawakening that type of Ideal Jew who reveal Godliness & morality even during war & in the mundane world, stressing that 1 Creator unites everything.
