"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Short and to the point. These issues seem insurmountable. I think we are at a standstill :-((
Chas v'shalom! They are certainly not insurmountable! That's the yetzer talking. We may be a dysfunctional, difficult, polarized family, but when push comes to shove, we're still family and we stand together.
but when push comes to shove, we're still family and we stand together.
Do we? Look at Bernie Sanders standing with Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib against Israel. What about all the American Jews who will still vote Democrat no matter how openly anti-Israel or anti-Semitic it becomes.
Look at all the Jews who continue to worship Barack Obama, an evil snake who was quite happy to sacrifice Israel for his dream of increasing Iran's regional power - not to mention his final middle finger to the Jews when he essentially allowed the UN to declare Jerusalem "occupied Palestinian territory".
Look at all the Jews who loathe Donald Trump, despite his being the most Israel-friendly president in recent history.
We are dysfunctional, but more and more I see that a large segment of the Jewish People are completely cut off from the family.
Jewish people are fragmented as a whole family. Segregation goes on between the orthodox and conservative and reformed movements, I see it, It is right here in New York. When will we accept each other for who we are, no matter our beliefs? We are Jewish and Hashem gave us free choice, its not up for us to judge each others beliefs, there’s only one Gd, and we are not Him. Acceptance does not have to mean approval. Moshiach will not come until we get this basic concept and simply unite.
In ONE DAY it all can turn around...
Annie: love that :)
Not all 'Jews' have Jewish neshamot. We must remember that about 2 million of the Erev Rav (the enemy within) went out of Mitzrayim with us.
These are the Jews (secular and even religious) who stand with those who want to harm us but cannot feel our pain because they really are not one of us). This is called birur and now, at the end of time, we must take sides and not be on the fence and surely not be on the side of our enemies, who, today are the radical leftists. Be on the side of H', His Torah and those who love their fellow Jews. H' is watching.
These are some of the greatest posts I've seen in a long time (almost all from Anonymous).
Please don't delete misunderstood ideas or ideas not understood as 'conspiratorial' or xtian or whatever. Sharing well thought out ideas (instead of just seeing "great" with exclamation points or smiley faces) or (mostly seeing "Yes, Mrs. Lincoln, but how was the play" spin) is wonderful. Great minds sometimes post here and even more read without posting. Let's encourage those great minds to post.
And now to watch R. Kessin!
I very rarely delete comments Anonymous @ 12:02. And I do agree with you that great minds sometimes post here and that even more read without posting.

It's insurmountable because most people are not interested in true communication. Here's a tip-of-iceberg example of hypocrisy which hurt and infuriated me. I had read an article written by a prominent rabbi, who quoted a certain frum doctor. The quote reminded me of a "peirush" which i myself composed, but which neither the rabbi, nor the doctor gave me a chance to tell them without cutting me short, and saying they have to go, never mind the lengths i went thru to reach them. This was very hypocritical and unforgivable to me, especially because mine was goal-oriented (i.e. for a toelet), whereas the doctor's was just some new interpretations of something in the parsha.
Here's my peirush. Pokeach ivrim - when? When malbish arumim (i.e. when stem cells will repopulate the retina, such that the retina isn't "arum" anymore)... When? When matir asurim (i.e. when stem cells will be approved, rather than restricted)... When? When zokef kefufim (i.e. when genuinely caring doctors will be released from irrational restrictions on being allowed to heal patients with stem cells).
So what's the toelet? If only the aforesaid rabbi would have bothered to listen and publicize same (just as the doctor's interpretation of the parsha was published) - then it might penetrate the public mindset. Then, instead of saying the brochot like zombies, the public might focus on the goal of STEM-CELL HEALING and then genuine healing modalities might become actualized! Why? Because miracles happen when there's COLLECTIVE HARMONIOUS INTENT. Another example of collective harmonious intent, was that Gaza campaign years ago, when many soldiers saw the apparition of Rochel Imeinu warning them about booby-trapped buildings. Why? Because they were all collectively and harmoniously concentrating on the same thought "G-d, save me!"
So, you see, i find myself living in a world where most people, not excluding rabbis and doctors, are tofet hatafeil umainiach haIkar. Ahavat Yisrael isn't just intended toward young people, but also to the old and helpless. It's only when the young become helpless geriatrics themselves, that they're confronted with the barbarism of the Unhealthcare Sickcare Associates are. But by then it's too late, sorta like nobody wants to know what goes on inside jails.
