“My point is that each “side” has things that aren’t great and until we realize and accept that (not the sins), we could try to get along.”
Couldn’t agree more. In order to get along, we need to stop looking at the things some of any group besides us does wrong, and start looking at the things they do right that we can learn from.
In that spirit, we can all learn from:
the fire of the Chassish davening
the intensity of the Yeshivish learning
the uncompromising standards of the Charaedim
the sensitivity towards others of the MO
Anybody have any more?
