In Parshat Beshalach we meet Amalek, the avowed enemy of Bnei Yisroel who will torment us in every generation. As Bnei Yisroel left Egypt, tired and weak, they were attacked by the opportunistic army of Amalek who wanted to wipe Bnei Yisroel off the face of the earth. While this was a physical attack, Amalek attacks us in many forms throughout history, from military attacks, to political attacks, to religious attacks and any combination that will further their agenda. It is therefore important that we understand the strategy involved in the counter attack both on a physical level and on a symbolic level so that we can continue to fight this war in every one of its manifestations.
