17. ויבא עמלק ה’תשמ”ב

The attack by Amalaik on the Jewish people has two basis: 1) They were weak in the hands, which means the Torah (which is not intellect but Godliness that is rooted higher than reason and extends lower) was not affecting their actions which reflects a deeper cause and source for weakness. 2) They went out of clouds on their own. The defeat of Amalaik is by Moshe’s men led by Yehushua that can and do go out of the cloud and succeed.
