Torah is Our Primary Protection
Klal Yisrael said to HaShem, "Eisav's father blessed him, 'you shall live by the sword.' Can it be that You agree to that blessing? For you tell us, 'If he comes against you, hide yourselves from him. It sounds like you are saying that we will not able to contend with him.'" HaShem responded, "Just the opposite, I am giving you counsel how to survive. Rather, if your enemies confront you, flee to the Torah, as per the verse: 'Torah protects the righteous.'"
Lesson: Torah is our primary protection when the nations of the world come against us.
App: Increase your commitment to Torah study and Mitzvos -- and magnify the merit of Klal Yisrael to be worthy of HaShem's protection and deliverance.
