Every single Jew

Just being Jewish sanctifies G-d.

Nations of the world don’t distinguish between different types of Jews. Rich or poor, educated or simple, right wing or left wing. Just being Jewish qualifies.

Knowing this can inspire every Jew to look at every other Jew as a sibling. A part of themselves.

We may still argue. We may have different opinions. But we are one. One nation. One people. One entity.

So that when we love one another, we are loving a part of ourselves.

When we love and care for one another, we open wide channels to receive G-d’s love and caring and blessings for us. For all of us, together, as one.

One. It’s a fascinating number. It means that even when there are two or more, they unite into a oneness.

The Torah tells us: Shema Yisroel — Hear O Israel, G-d your G-d, G-d is One.

G-d is One with the world. When we, G-d’s  chosen nation, love one another, we reflect G-d’s Oneness within ourselves, and within the entire world.

Because when different types of Jews, with different opinions, unite, we show the world that in the many there is One.

And when the nations see this, then they become more aware of G-d’s Oneness with everything, as He creates every single thing, every moment, out of nothing.

And then — as the prophet describes the time of Redemption — the entire world will “serve Him with one shoulder.” (Zephaniah 3; 9)

May it happen very soon.
