Torah perspective
A synagogue was shot at on Yom Kippur. Days later, hate flyers appeared at its door. The timing is not random. The holiest day of the year was chosen because the enemy knows that Jewish strength flows from the synagogue, from the fast, from the shofar. The Torah identifies this pattern as Amalek, the force that attacks precisely when Jews are most vulnerable and most connected to their source. The command to wipe out Amalek's memory is not about bloodlust. It is about refusing to normalize evil. Every generation that treats antisemitism as a manageable nuisance rather than a spiritual disease repeats the error of those who said Amalek was just another tribe. The response is not fear but doubled Jewish pride, doubled learning, doubled presence.
