When fighting an enemy, you have to use your emotions to the fullest. Rabbi Shai Tahan, head of the Sha’ari Ezra collective and head of Beit Erzi HaLebanon, explained that it is impossible to sympathize with an enemy while fighting him, otherwise the war is doomed to fail.
He explains that we see this element in this week’s Parshat – the Pinchas Parshat. The Torah commands us to take revenge on the Midianites for what the daughters of Midian did to the Israelites.
The verse reads, “Gather the Midianites and defeat them,” and it is harsh; why is it written in the language of “round up the Midianites” when the Torah could only read, “You defeated the Midianites.”
Rabbi Tahan learned from commentators that the word “Tsar” comes from the word “Tsar and enemy,” meaning that you will defeat the Midianites only after you feel that they are “Tsars and enemies.” Because the way to defeat the enemy – starts with our feelings toward him.
According to him, even now, when we are at war with Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists, we need to feel that they are “narrow enemies” and that’s how we defeat them. Look at the whole corner.
