10. Milchemet Nekama: Torah’s Call to Eradicate Evil Without Compromise

Rav Shlomo Katz delves into the Torah’s concept of Milchemet Nekama (war of vengeance), guided by the Maharal, Rambam, Netziv, Rav Hershel Schachter, and Rav Shaul Yisraeli. Exploring Milchemet Mitzvah (e.g., against Amalek, Seven Nations) versus Milchemet Reshut, the episode clarifies that nations failing to uphold justice—like Shechem’s complicity in Dina’s rape or modern enemies post-October 7, 2023—lose their claim to innocence.

Rejecting Western moral confusion, Am Yisrael is urged to embrace Torah-driven nekama for Kiddush Hashem, ensuring victory and hastening Geula.
