MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR ENEMIES AND YOU’LL BRING MOSHIACH!
The Passuk says: וַיֵּצֵא משֶה וְאַהֲרֹן מֵעִּם פַרְ עֹה ח Moshe and Ahron left Paroh (singular). But it should say: וַיֵּצְאוּ (plural)?! We can suggest that they went like one person because of the tremendous Achdus between them, and each one was a: לֵב שֶשָּמַח בִּגְדוּלַת אָּחִּיו heart that rejoiced with his brother’s greatness. Just like before Har Sinai it says: וַיִּּחַן שָּם יִּשְ רָּאֵל נֶגֶד הָּהָּר יתרו יט ב Klal Yisroel encamped before the mountain (singular, i.e., Achdus) and therefore they were worthy for Matan Torah, so can we say that the reason why Davka two people took us out of Mitzrayim was because they honored each other and showed Achdus, which is the biggest Koach.
R' Meir Stern Shlita has told a Yungerman in the name of the Maharal that Machlokes is the most difficult Midda to work on. People enjoy it??! It’s a sick addiction, and many people aren’t aware of the fact that they may be quite guilty of this, unless they put special work into it. The Maharal also says that it’s the most dangerous Midda, and we don’t have the Geula because of it.
R' Yitzchok Sorotzkin Shlita was Maspid R' Matisyahu Salomon Zatzal, and he praised his being understanding of different Shitos (approaches). We can expound on this area. R' Sorotzkin quoted the Netziv that Sin'as Chinam means disliking a Derech in Avodas Hashem that’s not yours. In fact, I would venture to say that one of the main reasons why there are different Shitos is to see how people who are from other Shitos can tolerate and understand each other.
If you were raised Chasidish/or Litvish, you will automatically lean towards the way you were taught, and be somewhat repulsed by the other Derech. You are totally: פָּ סוּל לְ עֵ דוּת (disqualified to judge) since you have a 1000% Negi'a (bias) to stick to your own background, and any: הִּ תְ נַ גְ דוּת hostility is total Sheker and misunderstanding. How can you trust a Sephardi/or Ashkenazi person who dislikes something about the other kind?
Even if he is the most Chashuva person, he’s still: נוֹגֵ עַ בְ עֵ דוּת (one-sided) and totally: פָּ סוּל (disqualified). And even if he has a true and logical Tayna (claim) it would be well-worth it if he was also self-critical and realize that he’s also not 100%! So be Dan L'kaf Zechus, no matter how crazy the other side is (so are you)! In Novardok they said that if you are critical and you noticed a Chisaron, then you already have your own Chisaron, since you didn’t see only good. You are lacking the Ayin Tova of Avraham Avinu, and instead you are using Ayin Hara of Bilam HaRasha, Chas V'shalom.
Even if it’s the biggest Ruchaniyus. In Novardok and Slabodka, they both spoke about why the Rasha, Achav, won wars; since they had Achdus, and not Shaul HaMelech’s Tzadikim who lost wars because they had Lashon Hara. (Yerushalmi).
I was encouraged by many Gedolei Torah to write about this area, although I sense that our Dor has come a long way, and there is tons more understanding and accepting of other Shitos than there ever was. Yet, many Gedolei Torah insist that we have to work more in this area.
