Torah perspective

Erdogan calls Zionism a genocidal ideology and an existential threat. For a Torah reflection, this is not merely political rhetoric; it echoes the pattern of Amalek, who attacked not for territory but out of metaphysical hatred of Israel's covenant with HaShem. The Baal Shem Tov taught that such opposition from the nations reflects a spiritual truth: the world's systems resist the light that Israel carries. But the Torah's response is not fear. It is bitachon, trust that the promise to Avraham is irrevocable. No human power, no matter how loud, can undo what HaShem has established. The proper response to Erdogan's fury is to deepen our own awareness of whose covenant sustains us.
