Description

Rav Kook writes that an essential part of being happy as an individual and as a nation, is to be one's self, to be free from external pressure and laws which run against our nature. Part of the national renaissance of Israel is to have our own independent Jewish army, society, culture, creativity and spirituality, which help us get in touch with our Godly selves, and which are surely worth fighting for and protecting.
