To earn the connection to the Light of Infinity, each of us must wage our own internal battle between Esau - the evil inclination, and Jacob - the good inclination. Anyone who does not know 'who's really fighting who' does not understand the story of our reality, and of course, is not realistic. In order for there to be Free Will, Esau controls the centers of power, all of them. Human society is enslaved to the illusion of fake power, money, and might. How are the power systems really structured? How do Isaac's blessings affect contemporary world politics? Are we getting near 'The End of Days'? Are we witnessing the greatest revolution of all times?

The human race is at a critical juncture. The great forces that press humanity to change put us in great distress, pain, and existential torment.

The Torah portion of VaYera signifies immense forces of Divine energy illuminating humanity during these days. These are powerful forces that propel history forward—whether we like it or not. They crush the old, shatter it, and consume it in fire. On a personal level, for many, these forces evoke intense pressure, dissatisfaction, rage, and anger. Conversely, for others, these same forces serve to awaken, catalyze, empower, foster growth, and bring healing. It is these individuals who will step forward to lead the world. What determines which side we take? The secret lies in the "Three Column System", specifically, the "Binding of Isaac" (Akedat Yits'hak). It is the quality of Hesed (loving-kindness) that possesses the power to rectify selfishness and harsh judgments (Dinim), while preserving the vibrant joy of youth. This is the secret behind the evolutionary process of the human race; herein lies the key to understanding the Messianic era and the intense historical transformation that humanity is currently experiencing.

When our father Abraham embarks on the journey to the Promised Land, he lays the foundations for rebuilding humanity as a society of renewal, faith in goodness, the right for happiness, and hope for a better future. Abraham's journey is still in full swing. The struggle between light and darkness, between hope and doom, still continues. Yet, Abraham is no longer alone on the path, a large part of humanity has already joined the journey, the other part is still fighting it.

As the familiar structure of civilization unravels, and all we have built faces the threat of erasure and loss due to a collapse of cultural values, how do we survive the mounting dangers? How do we secure a future for our families and for what we have created? Humanity is in the midst of a process that is reshaping every individual's perception of reality. This is the process of redemption—a painful journey leading to awakening and the redefinition of identity, calling, and purpose. Understanding this process can help us better navigate the challenges along the way.

Abra Kadabra is the secret of Creation. The Creation happened in an instance. The process of Evolution was the way to manifest it. All of it was part of the plan to make us, humans, partners in the Creation.

The Parasha of the Ha'azinu gives us the power to connect with balance on the one hand and with the highest supernatural forces on the other. This is to reach a connection with the mighty light of the Creator - the most powerful supernatural force. This force allows us to recreate our reality. To change our innate nature and to transcend the flaws, blockages and disturbances that pull us into a less enlightened reality than the one we were destined for. This Parasha contains the historical processes of humanity's correction, and of course, the process of the end of days that we are already in the midst of it nowadays.

According to Kabbalah and Hasidic teachings, Nitsavim-VaYelekh provides the power to reconnect with the source of life, which is why it is always read before Rosh Hashanah. Connecting to the Light of the Creator: Nitsavim symbolizes placing a person before His Creator, and allows for ascension to the source of life through the teachings of Moses. Mutual Responsibility: Kabbalah teaches that in this Parashah, the responsibility and accountability that a person has for himself, his environment, and the correction of the entire world are clarified.

According to the Zohar on Parashat Ki-Tevo, we are already in the midst of the period called "The End of Days." Our way to deal with the enormous pressures that are exerted on each of us, from all directions, is found here in the Parashah. Why is 'Teshuvah', as the Zohar explains it, the best way, not only to survive, but to win in a big way? How does this relate to the work of the heart? This is what will decide the how will we get through the coming years and how will we deal with so many challenges.

World War III is the greatest of all, and it is the war for the victorious vision. He who tells the story of the human race, the narrative, is the one who will control it. The vision of a good and beautiful world of Abraham evolved into a vision of "Light for the nations and faith in redemption". Hope and confidence in a better future are the connection to the Divine Presence that creates the strength to overcome the great noise of hatred, anger, despair and separation that is all around us. The virtue of coping - in the 72 names of God, and especially ו.ה.ו א.נ.י ו.ה.ו - the initials of ו.א.ו - in Gematria, 13 - The Thirteen Attributes.

World War III is the greatest of them all, and it is the war for the winning vision. He who tells the story of the human race, the narrative, is the one who will control it. There are two sides to the vision of the Torah, the faith in the Creator of the universe who created humans in His image, and the knowledge that each of us has an evil inclination designed to enable us to fight for any true success. Only an uncompromising commitment to these two principles can put us on the path to success, as individuals and as a society.

World War III is the greatest of them all and it is the war for the winning vision. Whoever tells the story of the human race, the narrative, is the one who will control it. The war is about true equality among humans. It is all about the right of each one of us the be the child of God and to serve him as serving a father.

World War III is the greatest of them all and it is the war for the winning vision. Whoever tells the story of the human race, the narrative, is the one who will control it. The war is between the most materialistic civilization that has arisen on earth and the monotheistic spiritual consciousness of Moses. Whoever controls consciousness, controls society. The emptiness of the materialistic consciousness prevents the flow of true abundance, good fortune, satisfaction and fulfillment. How to achieve true fulfillment and a sense of luck and satisfaction - "Man shall not live by bread alone" (Parashat Ekev). When the channels of abundance are barren and dry, the Zohar claims that this is what brings wars and destruction to the world.

World War III is the greatest and it is the war for the victorious vision. He who tells the story of the human race, the narrative, is the one who will control it. The vision that is connected to the complete redemption is also the consolation for all pain and destruction. The same consolation that allows the continuation of the war for love, unity and peace! In the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses clarifies for us the story/vision/narrative with which we are supposed to win thousands of years of struggle to complete the great story of the human race. How does it work and how does it relate to the personal vision that belongs to the destiny of each of us?
