DEUT1472 Remember what Amalek did when our forefathers left Egypt. Realize that Hashem hates all enemies of the Jewish People--all nations and individuals who seek to cause pain and suffering. The greater the evil that such a foe perpetrates against us, the worst will be his fall and his suffering. We see that towards Amalek, whose evil against Israel was exceedingly great, Hashem's hatred is particularly vengeful, for He commands us to eliminate any trace of the nation of Amalek. We are commanded to not forget what Amalek did, and we must remind ourselves of our hatred for him, and seek him out wherever he is in order to destroy him.
