Eliminating machloket

"With the advent of the footsteps of Mashiach, insolence will increase and prices will soar; ..the government will turn to heresy and no one will rebuke them; ...the wisdom of the scholars will degenerate, those who fear sin will be despised, and the truth will be lacking; youths will put old men to shame, elders will rise in deference to the young, a son will revile his father, a daughter will rise up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,...a son will not feel ashamed before his father. ...So upon whom can we rely? -- Upon our Father Who is in heaven." (Sotah 9:15)

The ‘Truly Frightening’ Thing a Texas Teacher Allegedly Told One Mother

I just finished listening to Rabbi Daniel Travis speaking about Rabbi Schtenrbach’s Message About The Har Nof Massacre.
Rabbi Travis spoke about working on eliminating machloket. He mentioned that the last argument where someone was completely right and another was completely wrong was the machloket of Moshe and Korach. So, let's remember when we are in the middle of a quarrel that we aren't 100% right and there's room for us to see the other side.


The rabbi also spoke about some people who were saved from the Har Nof massacre. One anecdote that he mentioned I recognized from an email I received this evening from Daily Emunah.



A woman said that her husband prays in that minyan each day of the week except Tuesday, when he prays at a synagogue closer to his home because he comes home to play with his son, a thirteen-year-old boy with Downs Syndrome. After the boy was born, thirteen years ago, his mother went with him to Rebbetzin Kanievsky to receive encouragement. The rebbetzin held the sleeping baby in her arms and said, "You don't even know what kind of protection this precious child will bring you." Now, thirteen years later, it is very clear what kind of protection the boy provided.

  1. Reading the words of Rebbitzen Kanievsky, a'h, it becomes so obvious how words of the true Tzadikim /Tzadkiniot are HOLY. There are no coincidences.
    As far as the first paragraph above: for the last few decades it's been going downhill just in pure common decency and it hurts when it takes tragedies, one after the other, r'l, to make people open their eyes. The worst is the 'liberalism' which equates good and evil as the same, so is it any wonder we have a world gone mad.
