Much of this talk about Achdus is just talking. In practice it’s, “I can’t work with people from a different group.” Or “My kids can’t be exposed to kids from a more modern family.”
It’s always excuses. As Gadol said it’s sad this is even newsworthy.
I read a story from someone who attended a Levaya. The Niftar was a Centrist Modern Orthodox Jew who ran the Religious Zionists of America for decades. He helped found a Modern Orthodox, Coed, Ultra-Zionist day school.
Who gave the hesped? The Ruv of Agudah!!!
The Ruv said, “Mr. X and I had differing opinions on many issues but I held him in great regard.”
The Ruv of Agudah being Maspid the President of Mizrachi.
That’s what true Achdus looks like.
