This post and the Torah learning invested is fully dedicated to the Ilui Neshama of Chaim Schneur Zalman Yehuda “Yudi” ben Aaron Leib, may his family only know comfort and love.
There is a fundamental Torah teaching that the function of the world relies on the balance of Torah (study), Prayer and Chesed (kindness.) A balance so beautiful when done right, but fatal when ignored. I feel more present now, is the weak balance between differing opinions and the constant shift of blame between two sides. The weight of the world unfortunately balances very heavily on the level of polarization, censorship and mental segregation that has been increasingly normalized and encouraged. Thu
