The article reflects on the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 attack in Southern Israel, describing it as a wake-up call for the Jewish people and a manifestation of deep-seated hatred. Drawing on biblical narratives, particularly the story of Jacob and Esau, the author explores the duality of Jewish identity: the spiritual pursuit represented by Jacob and the necessity of physical defense embodied by Esau. The piece argues that Jewish survival depends on integrating these qualities—maintaining spiritual integrity while being prepared to defend against existential threats. The article calls for unity, moral clarity, and decisive action in the face of ongoing danger, urging the Jewish people to embrace both their spiritual mission and their right to self-defense, while learning from historical lessons and remaining steadfast in their values.
