12. Does Amalek Exist Today?

In this deeply charged shiur, Rav Shlomo explores one of the most difficult and misunderstood sugyos in Torah: Amalek.

Through the writings of the Rambam, Ramban, and Rav Soloveitchik, the conversation moves beyond slogans and politics into the deeper Torah question: what does Amalek actually mean in our generation? Is Amalek only an ancient nation that disappeared long ago, or is there still a spiritual and national force in the world whose entire identity is rooted in hatred of Am Yisrael?

This episode wrestles honestly with memory, morality, מלחמת מצוה, October 7th, and the responsibility of Jews to learn these sugyos from Torah rather than from emotion alone.

A difficult but essential conversation for this moment in Jewish history.
