I just want to point out something nice from DaMoshe’s story. I’m assuming his cousin who lives in Lakewood is of a different hashkofo than DaMoshe, yet they learn together nightly and spend the occasional Shabbos together. This is achdus and ahavas Yisroel.
I don’t find this a chiddush; I know a lot of people of different hashkofos and from different communities who get along beautifully, whether they be friends, relatives, or business acquaintances, and DaMoshe seems to me (even though I might be a bit rough on him at times – sorry) to be a very nice person.
Nevertheless, I thought I’d highlight this point.
