The Spiritual War
Source: LazerBrody.net
The Midrash tells us (Breishit Raba 65:20) that when the voice of Jacob sings out in prayer and Torah learning, the hands of Esau lose all of their power. King David says specifically in Psalm 20, verse 8: “Some have their chariots and some have their horses, but we shall call the out the Name of Hashem.” Whereas Israel’s true power is in Torah and prayer, Ishmael was blessed (or cursed) to live by his sword. The winner of the war will be whoever does his job best.
Here’s the essence of the real war that’s more than 33 centuries old. See the difference between the “Jihad” kids of Gaza and the Torah kids of Jerusalem:

Ask a child in the south of Israel what he’d like for Shabbat; there’s a 9 to 1 chance that he’ll say, “A quiet Shabbat with no sirens or bombs.” Have a peaceful Shabbat Vayichi.
