Let’s Get Practical
Vekabitzeinu Yachad
When Jews get together and reconcile, it creates a moment of sanctity because perfection of character is a kedushah. Three times every day we ask Hashem to gather us ‘together’ [and take us to Eretz Yisroel]. And that’s a reminder for us about one of our most important functions in this world: to achieve the perfection of character that ‘yachad’ requires. The yachad with our spouses, our families, our friends, our neighbors - even with the most difficult ones. This week, every time I say this brachah in Shemoneh Esrei, I will bli neder stop for thirty seconds and think about how I can best apply this lesson in my own life, in my dealings with all of my fellow Jews.
