Am Yisrael is unified!
It’s the silver lining — post October 7th. It’s not that we are united due to tragedy and shared trauma, rather, October 7th stripped away the superficial differences and highlighted our inherent unity!
One nation. One people. One land. One Torah. One future.
Rewind 3300 odd years ago —standing at the foot of Mount Sinai. The Torah describes this particular leg of the journey — which started in Egypt slowly traveling to the Holy Land — in the singular. The whole nation focused and fused without differences or division all ready to receive the great revelation from On-High.
Fast forward. Here we are. The emergence of something deeper and more essential. A indivisible connection between us all, bursting forth to the fore. The ability to shamelessly proclaim and simultaneously share with our children — the feeling of being a part of a whole — the power that exists way beyond the sum of our parts.
What is it the binds us?
One nation. One Land. One Torah. One G-d = One Future!
With best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Yehuda and Dina Kantor
