Division Kills

„It is impossible for us to cut off a single branch from the great and leafy tree of our life and give it a course and nourishment of its own.”From Orot HaTechiyah 4

When we are divided among ourselves, and each one is certain that his branch and his sector are the most correct, it resembles a great tree from which magnificent branches are taken and one tries to root them without a foundation. Alone, we will not succeed! There is no flour without Torah, no Torah without flour. There is no one community in the people of Israel without another community, and our ability to shine our light depends on our ability to receive from one another. And to give to one another.
