No clue where nooseisko is, so I guess I’ll post and have a chat with him before Shabbos

There is something very interesting about this parsha of amalek. IT is writting in sigular form, yet the mitzva is only commanded b’rabim (Ramban)!
This parsha is writting in singular form to instruct us that there is a mitzva to rid ourselves of amalek. We each have the tumah of amelek inside of us. This is the tumah which cools our emunah and our belief in hashgacha pratis.
The ????? ????-?, ?????–???, ?? as it says in Parshas B’shalach, it the fight to strengthen our emuna and bitachon in Hashem, for this weekens the tumah of amalek which tells us things happen “by chance”, “is a coincidence” and “natural, without Hashem”. (R’ Moshe Sternbuch)
It is no fluke that this parsha is always read during Elul. One of the main areas which we all need to work on are our hashkafos and how we perceive the Ribono Shel Olam. There is Hashem and there is a koach of amalek, and they cannot successfully coexist in our minds and in our hearts. Lets evict the one deserving of the eviction this Elul.
