Boundless Love

„In every movement there are surely things with which I cannot agree, but this cannot cause my love, full of the flame blazing within me for our holy people and all its individuals, to be diminished even by a hair's breadth; it stands within me in equal measure for those who honor me and those who scorn me. All of them I love without bounds.”From Letter in Defense of the Accused in the Arlosoroff Murder

Amid all the filth and disgust of the current argument, and the thousands of arguments that have been and will yet be part of our lives, it is important that we remember the foundation. Boundless love. This body, of the people of Israel, in the Land of Israel, cannot endure without this deed of covenant. To argue, to debate, to rule on matters, but never to cease loving!
