[Avodah] Fight or Flight?

[Rich, Joel]

The Torah that God gave us is all inclusive, all-embracing, all
pervading. It has the answers to all problems, even though we cannot
always decode its language. The Torah is not afraid. We do not have to
retreat into isolation or solitude because the street is "contaminated".
To retreat means to lose. "Tehillat nefilah nisa, the beginning of
defeat is flight," the Talmud says (Sotah 44b). The enemy will conquer
when the army begins to withdraw, to retreat, to flee.
