I respect Yidden who are so diverse and strong minded, yet are able to come together beautifully to show their respect to others despite our (sometimes major) disagreements.
This is great relief from other parts of the CR. It shows us that after all, we are still brothers.
Thank you ujm for bringing up this thread.
Hashem, see the achdus of Your children, ברכנו אבינו כולנו כאחד with all of the berachos, first and foremost – the brocha of the גאולה האמיתית והשלימה so we will be able to dance into Tisha B’Av as one and celebrate it as the greatest Yom Tov!
[Additionally, today I feel a special respect for our dear soldiers in Eretz Yisroel who are right now putting their lives at risk to be Hashem’s shluchim for the protection of millions of our brothers and sisters. Kol hakavod, may Hashem be with you]
