Moses said to Joshua, "Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek." We have a battle against sin, error, pride, self, and everything that is contrary to God and to His Christ; and in the Joshua-service many can be employed. As the Holy Spirit has given diversities of gifts, so are there varieties of agencies for battling for the truth. Every believer should be a soldier in Christ's own army of salvation.

For today’s installment of our 40 Days Meditation series, our brother Philip Morrison provides commentary on Ex 17:1-16. Listen below, download here, or search for Words from the Brothers on your favourite podcasting app. All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?” But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?” Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” Ex 17:1-16

Who Is Fit To Lead Israel and World | WAR OF AMLEK (22)https://youtu.be/2UGHE7v1wq8With constant nerve wrecking news coming daily, many are turning Torah groups into political news groups. Everyone has opinions about each leader that's in the headlines, while few understand the Torah ideology about the topic. Rav Elchonon Wasserman's seemingly prophetic words in this War of Amalek reminds us who the Torah deems fit to be a leader, the danger of bad leaders, and what our ideology is supposed to be in regards to how we talk about them. Whether you're interested in the Torah or the political world, this shiur is going to keep you pinned to your seats, and perhaps even impact your worldview perspective.

Exodus 17:8-16 In Jewish tradition, Amalek symbolizes doubt. And like Amalek, doubt is our most relentless adversary. One we must fight against all our days. What seems to make doubt such a formidable foe is that: 1) Doubt is arbitrary2) Doubt is frustrating3) Doubt is deeply personal Doubt is only overcome as we resist it through the strength God gives. No amount…

Celebrating Purim  Part 6:  The Purim and Passover Connection/The Hypocrisy of Amalek  -  English and Spanish. The festivals of Purim and Passover are connected in several wonderful ways. But there are painful similarities as well. Join us as we see how the wicked Amalek played a key role in both feasts!  This is a rebroadcast of a sermon from our archives which was originally posted on June 22, 2020. Celebrando Purim  Parte 6: La conexión entre Purim y Pascua/La Hipocresía de Amalek - Inglés y Español. Las festividades de Purim y Pésaj están conectadas de varias maneras maravillosas. Pero también hay dolorosas similitudes. Acompáñenos a ver cómo el malvado Amalek jugó un papel clave en ambas fiestas.  Esta es una retransmisión de un sermón de nuestros archivos que fue publicado originalmente el 22 de junio de 2020.

Parashat T'tzavveh [Exodus 27:20-30:10] coincides with Shabbat Zakhor, the second of the four special shabbatot before Passover, each with its own maftir [Deuteronomy 25:17-19] and haftarah [1 Samuel 15:2-34]. The weekly Torah reading picks up where last week's left off, continuing the discussion of the provisioning of the Tabernacle. In particular, we discussed the clothes of the high priest and what they might mean. In addition, we discussed the maftir, with its call to annihilate Amalek, together with the parallel text in Exodus 17:8-17, which describes the original battle [and is read on Purim morning]. How should we refer to our enemies, if at all. These are some of the topics which engaged. We are ever mindful of the hostages, both dead and alive, and the need for their return to their families now, and of the soldiers who defend Israel as part of the Israel Defense Forces, may they be removed from harm's way. Shabbat Shalom.

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon   —Horror Vacui— There's an odd mélange of diplomatic proposals for what-comes-next-in-Gaza, from an Egyptian and Arab League plan to various American plans, including one hatched in direct negotiations with Hamas. This leads us to wonder, why is Israel silent about something that matters so much? —Amalakites— It is a fact that we are living in a moment of “peak-Amalek,” especially as we celebrate Purim. What are we to make of this problematic idea? —Is Yad Vashem Pandering to the TikTok Generation?— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Is Yad Vashem pandering to the TikTok generation? All this and Rav Menachem Froman, the unveiling of under-wraps art and the Simba we need today, plus brilliant new music by Amir Sade.

The story of Purim screams from the rafters: Amalek wants us dead and who will be an Ester, defiant in the face of abject cruelty? Today is the day to step up and take a stand - physically and morally - for Jewish survival! Pull Up a Chair 13MAR2025 - PODCAST

Parsha "Tetzaveh" (Exodus 27:10 - 30:10) continues the description of elements associated with the still-to-be-built 'tabernacle in the wilderness,' this time beginning with the priestly garments for Aaron and his sons. The Erev Shabbat Reading begins with "command" them to make oil for the menorah, and then continues through the sanctification of the 'cohenim': https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/SSM-3-7-25-Tetzaveh-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 The Sabbath Day midrash concerns a conjunction of events, both historic and current, and associated readings. And as seems to so often be the case, there's more than just coincidence evidently at work now. One of the obvious, and stated, purposes of the garments created "for splendor and for beauty," to be worn by the cohenim (priests) was that they be "set apart" to serve YHVH. And the golden inscription on Aaron's forehead said, "Holy to YHVH." The fact that such a priesthood no longer exists only makes the contrast more clear. But several events this week really brought that home. By almost any Scriptural measure, what we now have instead looks like an "anti-priesthood," set apart not to YHVH, but His "Adversary." And an honest reading of Scripture is "uncomfortably clear" on those implications. Note: The midrash mentions a related look at the story of Esther, and the 'Purim' holiday, which was an element of Mark's observations in the "Come out of her, My people" Show this week: https://hebrewnationonline.com/come-out-of-her-my-people-show-mark-call-weekly-274/ Tetzaveh: What is Amalek?

Pastor Jeremy | BFBC-Glendive | Sunday How you honor/welcome/treat the presence of God will directly influence your quality of life. ● Obed-Edom's house vs Philistines ● King Asa beginning of reign vs end of reign ● David vs Saul's Daughter Direction - Protection - Provision - Peace - Power - Victory 2 Chron 20 - Jehoshaphat is delivered from his enemies. ● He was surrounded ● He feared ● He sought the Lord ● He praised the Lord ● He heard from the Lord ● He did what the Lord said ● He walked in Victory Gen 17:8 Amalek came and fought against the Israelites ● Joshua had to fight... ● Psalm 127 Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. Coaches half-time address about overcoming adversity. Jer. 29:4-14 ● The people were being knuckleheads ● God caused them to be taken away to Babylon for 70 years. ● He told them to continue to live, walk in increase, overcome the adversity, and get back to Jerusalem. God has created an “environment of victory” or maybe a “culture of winning.” He can win with players who are: 1. Too Young - David a youth 2. Too Old - Caleb was 85 3. Weak - Gideon the weakest 4. Outnumbered - Jehosophat surrounded 5. God's won with a liar, a drunk, and a prostitute 6. He's won with men, and women 7. He's won with people of different races and nationalities. 8. He's won with friends, God has even won with enemies!! God can win with you!! You are more than a conqueror, you are the head and not the tail, that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead really does dwell in you, if God is for you who can be against you. ● You might be supernaturally delivered ● You might have to fight to get that dub ● You may feel like you are losing and have to overcome adversity.

In this powerful message from "The Great I AM" series, Pastor Tim Dunn explores the meaning of Jehovah Nissi—The Lord is My Banner. This name, revealed in Exodus 17, reminds us that God fights for His people and gives them victory.Through the story of Moses, Joshua, and the battle against Amalek, Pastor Dunn unpacks how God's presence and power are our ultimate source of strength. This sermon challenges us to trust in Jehovah Nissi as our banner in spiritual battles, personal struggles, and moments of weakness. If you've ever felt weary in the fight, this message will encourage you to lift your eyes, stand firm in faith, and know that the battle belongs to the Lord. Through stories of David facing Goliath, Elisha's vision of angelic armies, and the promises of God's protection, Pastor Dunn reminds us that no battle we face is greater than the power of the Lord of Hosts. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, outnumbered, or uncertain, this message will encourage you to trust in Jehovah Sabaoth—the God who goes before you and fights for you.

Exodus 17 – Water from the Rock and Victory Over Amalek Exodus 17 is a crucial chapter in Israel's journey through the wilderness, showcasing God's provision and power. It highlights two key events: the miraculous provision of water from the rock at Rephidim and Israel's victory over the Amalekites through divine intervention. After leaving the Wilderness of Sin, the Israelites camped at Rephidim, where they found no water to drink. The people quarreled with Moses, demanding water, and accused him of bringing them out of Egypt to die of thirst. Moses, distressed by their complaints, cried out to the Lord. God instructed him to take his staff—the same one used to part the Red Sea—and strike the rock at Horeb. When Moses did so, water gushed out, providing for the people. This place was named Massah (testing) and Meribah (quarreling) because the Israelites tested the Lord by questioning whether He was among them. Soon after, the Amalekites attacked Israel at Rephidim. Moses instructed Joshua to choose men and go out to fight, while he stood on a hill with the staff of God in his hand. As long as Moses held up his hands, Israel prevailed, but when he lowered them, the Amalekites gained the advantage. Seeing this, Aaron and Hur supported Moses by holding up his hands until sunset, ensuring Israel's victory. After the battle, God commanded Moses to write the event down as a memorial and declared that He would blot out Amalek's memory from under heaven. Moses built an altar and named it Jehovah-Nissi, meaning “The Lord is my banner,” signifying God's power and protection over Israel. Exodus 17 teaches profound lessons about God's faithfulness and the importance of trust, obedience, and intercession. The provision of water illustrates that God sustains His people even when circumstances seem impossible, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate “rock” from which living water flows (1 Corinthians 10:4). The battle against Amalek demonstrates that victory comes not merely through human effort but through dependence on God. The image of Moses' upheld hands symbolizes prayer and intercession, highlighting the need for spiritual perseverance and communal support. This chapter encourages believers to trust in God's provision, rely on His strength in battles, and uphold one another in faith.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.

Taanis Esther is one of many fasts we keep, but something feels different about it compared to all other fasts. Rabbi Stark dives into the mystery of, and reason for, Taanis Esther.

This week a speech on the floor of the chamber of the US House of Representatives revealed more than just what has been accomplished now that the nation again has an elected President: Those who hate this republic, and its citizenry, and have sought to destroy both, are more than just "political enemies." And the key lies in understanding what the Bible says about "Amalek." Join Mark Call as he suggests that there is a LOT more to the parallels in Scripture than even just 'irrational hatred.'

Send us a textPreparing for Parshat Zachor requires understanding what truly makes Amalek the eternal enemy of the Jewish people. This provocative exploration delves deep into just three verses—fewer than 50 words total—that we're commanded to hear each year before Purim.What makes these words so significant that hearing them constitutes a Torah-level obligation? Through careful analysis of the original Hebrew text and Rashi's commentary, we discover layers of meaning that explain why Amalek represents the antithesis of Judaism's core values.The Hebrew phrase "asher karcha baderech" reveals Amalek's essence—they embody randomness, denying divine providence and purpose. While Judaism teaches that everything has meaning and happens according to a divine plan, Amalek represents the ideology that life is merely coincidental. They attacked the newly freed Israelites not for territorial gain or resources but specifically to diminish the spiritual glory surrounding the Jewish nation after the exodus from Egypt.Rashi uses a powerful metaphor: Amalek was like someone who jumps into a scalding bath knowing they'll be burned, just to cool it down for others. They targeted the weak and vulnerable members who had fallen behind the protective divine clouds, committing atrocities that demonstrated their complete contempt for God and Jewish sanctity.The mitzvah to blot out Amalek extends beyond remembering historical events—it calls us to eliminate the "Amalekite" tendencies within ourselves: spiritual apathy, religious coolness, and indifference when facing desecration of the sacred. When we stand idly by as God's name is profaned, we allow the spirit of Amalek to persist in the world.Listen carefully this Shabbas as these verses are read, and let their message kindle the passionate opposition to evil that defines authentic Jewish spirituality. Only by understanding our enemies can we truly appreciate the divine calling to eradicate their memory forever.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

The secret to Hashem's unbridled love for Klal Yisroel is the fact that He is "sameach b'chelki." The Mashgiach explains what that actually means.

In this week's parsha, the Torah delivers detailed instructions about the priestly garments, but because it's the Shabbat before the holiday of Purim, we also revisit the ancient commandment not to forget the evils of Amalek. Why must we remember Amalek's wickedness, and what does the war against Amalek, still raging on, look like these days? Tune in to find out

PURIM: The Humorous Customs of the Day & the Erasing of Amalek

On "Shabbat Zachor," the Shabbat before Purim, we take two Torah scrolls from the Heichal. After reading the regular Torah portion from the first Torah, we open the second scroll and read for the Maftir reading the final verses of Parashat Ki-Teitzei (Devarim 25:17-19) which command us to recount Amalek's attack on Benei Yisrael. According to many Halachic authorities, including the Shulchan Aruch, the annual reading of these verses constitutes a Torah obligation. The Zachor reading differs in this regard from the standard Torah reading, in that it is a Torah obligation. In light of the unique status of the Zachor reading, is it proper for the congregation to read along with the Ba'al Koreh (reader) from their Chumashim as he reads Zachor? Although some Rabbis indeed encouraged reading Zachor along with the Ba'al Koreh, Chacham Ovadia Yosef, in his work Chazon Ovadia (Laws of Purim, p. 4), rules that to the contrary, this practice is inappropriate. Firstly, he notes that the Torah introduces the obligation to recall Amalek's assault with the term "Zachor" (literally, "Remember") – the same term with which the Torah introduces the obligation of Kiddush on Shabbat (Shemot 20:8). The Sages understood the word "Zachor" as a reference to verbal recitation, thus requiring that one verbally declare the sanctity of Shabbat every Shabbat, and verbally recall the incident of Amalek once a year. As we know, one can fulfill his obligation of Kiddush by listening to its recitation from somebody else. The Halachic principle of "Shomei'a Ke'oneh" establishes that by carefully listening to somebody else's recitation, one is considered to have personally recited the given text. Therefore, one is not required to personally recite Kiddush on Shabbat, and it suffices for him to listen to its recitation by another person. Similarly, the obligation to read the Zachor section can be fulfilled by listening to the reader, and there is thus no need for the congregation to read the verses of Zachor along with the Ba'al Koreh, as they satisfy their obligation by carefully listening to his reading. Furthermore, Chacham Ovadia adds, the Zachor obligation requires reading this section from a proper Torah scroll. Therefore, the congregation can fulfill their obligation only by listening to the Ba'al Koreh's reading, whereby they are considered to have themselves read the Zachor section from a Torah scroll. If they read from their Chumashim, then they do not fulfill their obligation. It is therefore appropriate for the congregation to remain perfectly silent during the Zachor reading and carefully listen to each word read by the Ba'al Koreh. There is some discussion among the Halachic authorities as to whether or not women are included in the obligation to hear the Zachor reading, and therefore many women indeed make a point to come to the synagogue on Shabbat Zachor to hear this reading. Many communities conduct a special Zachor reading on the afternoon of Shabbat Zachor for women who are unable to attend synagogue services in the morning. Some Rabbis discouraged this practice, arguing that it is inappropriate to take the Torah scroll from the Heichal for this reading, since no Beracha is recited over this reading and it is unclear whether or not it is in fact required. Chacham Ovadia Yosef, however (In Chazon Ovadia – Laws of Purim, p. 10), encourages this practice, claiming that reading the Zachor section for women is indeed a worthy enough purpose to warrant removing the Torah from the Heichal. He draws proof to his position from the practice of Rabbi Moshe Greenwald (early 20th-century author of the "Arugat Ha'bosem") to remove the Torah from the Heichal each morning during the first twelve days of Nissan and read from the section of the "Nesi'im" in the Book of Bamidbar (7:1-8:4). Even though reading from the "Nesi'im" section during this period is not required by Halacha, and is merely a Minhag (custom), this practice is deemed worthwhile enough to allow removing the Torah from the Heichal. Certainly, then, it is proper to conduct a special Zachor reading for women in deference to the view among the authorities that the Zachor obligation applies to both men and women. Why is no Beracha recited over the Mitzva of reading Zachor? Many Mitzvot that we perform require the recitation of a Beracha. Seemingly, then, before the Zachor reading we should recite the Beracha "Asher Kideshanu Be'mitzvotav Ve'tzivanu Li'zkor Ma'aseh Amalek." Why did the Rabbis not require the recitation of a Beracha before the performance of this Mitzva? Chacham Ovadia (Chazon Ovadia – Laws of Purim, p. 11) cites those who answer this question on the basis of the Gemara's comment in Masechet Megila (10b) that the Almighty does not rejoice in the destruction of the wicked. Although the wicked people in the world must be eliminated, their death should not be a cause of joy and celebration. Thus, for example, when the ministering angels wished to sing a song of praise upon the drowning of the Egyptians in the sea, God exclaimed, "My creatures are drowning at sea – and you wish to sing a song of praise?!" Therefore, even though we must conduct a special reading to recall the obligation to destroy Amalek, the Sages chose not to require the recitation of a Beracha, which would express a feeling of joy and excitement over the destruction of the wicked. Summary: On the Shabbat before Purim we read for the Maftir reading the section of "Zachor" from a separate Torah scroll. The congregation should remain silent during the reading, rather than read along with the Ba'al Koreh (reader). Some authorities require women to hear this reading, as well. Many communities therefore conduct a special Zachor reading during the afternoon of Shabbat Zachor for women who cannot attend the morning services, and this is a proper practice.

What does it mean for the Israelites to blot out the memory of Amalek, but not forget? In today's episode, Watermark's staff member Emily Hope and JTJ staff Lauren Atkinson discuss the purpose of the law in revealing God's character and regulating the Israelites' behavior to protect them and help them flourish. Later in Deuteronomy 25, God tells the Israelites to remove the presence of the evil Amalekites. It was an ethical cleansing, not an ethnic cleansing that revealed God's holiness and character. Like them, we are also before a holy God in dire need for Christ to cover our sins.   Additional Scripture Referenced: Exodus 17:8-16 – Amalek and his men attack the Israelites 1 Samuel 15:9 - Saul preserves the Amalekites – He does not obey God's full command 1 Samuel 30:17 – David obeys God's command to wipe out the Amalekites, but some escape 1 Chronicles 4:43 – Hezekiah completely wipes out the Amalekites  Exodus 34:6-7, “That is, the Lord passed in front of Moses and said, “Yahweh, the Lord, is a kind and merciful God. He is slow to become angry. He is full of great love. He can be trusted. He shows his faithful love to thousands of people. He forgives people for the wrong things they do, but he does not forget to punish guilty people. Not only will he punish the guilty people, but their children, their grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren will also suffer for the bad things these people do.”  Interested in Watermark's Women's Bible Study?
