When a hostile regime orchestrates antisemitic attacks on Jewish targets in Europe, we are witnessing an ancient spiritual war, not a modern geopolitical one. The Torah identifies Amalek as the force that strikes at the weak and weary of Israel. But the Jewish people's ultimate shield is not military alone.
