This Shabbat is Shabbos Zachor, where we gather together in shul to hear the commandment to remember what Amalek did to us in the desert, and to blot out their memory from the earth. In this week's episode we look at this commandment in detail and discuss what was so egregious about Amalek's actions, the Ralbag's explanation of how Israel could have been better protected from their attack, and what this means for a post-covid society.
