Description

Some have suggested that the tragic Hamas attack on Simchat Torah seems to be a clear punishment from G-d for the participants of the Woodstock-like trance party on one of the holiest days. This article disagrees with this mistakenly simplistic thought, teaching as Rav Kook often does, to see the inevitable ramifications which result from game-changing events with a broad historic view, examining the outcomes of the unity and many eye-openers involved for Jews in Israel & throughout the world, & for the international community, as well.
