missed the point

i think his shiur was good, but missed the point. the problem is not the machloikes. machloikes is nothing new in jewish life. the problem today is the dissregard for piskei din, which is supposed to bring each machloikes to its just conclussion.

if you try to fix the wrong problem nothing will ever get better.

lets not be naive. machlokess is here till moshiach comes. but if we follow the rules laid out by toras emes then the machlokess won’t be destructive.

better to be wrong and love eachother.....

That was amazing! I hope everyone listens to this, and internalizes it, acts on it, and with this Moshiach will Come this second!
