Shalom (peace) is the elimination of hostile conflict, but not the dissolution of individuality and uniqueness.

To create perfect harmony we must find shared common interest and goals, but not eliminate individuality in the process.

Equality and sameness are not equated, and true equality is the celebration and recognition of individuality.

Shalom is a symphony of single notes, a blending of divergent ideas and expressions,

all working towards a common score, creating a perfect harmony.

~Rav DovBer Pinson

feeling my way towards filling the well….

inquiry for today~ how will you measure your empty well?

measured in love

Love can not be taught.

All we can hope for is that maybe we can unlearn all the hatred.

Because hatred is taught.

Love is from Heaven.

~Rebbe Shlomo Carlebach
