One of the greatest strengths of the Jewish people is our diversity. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it again and again. There are so many different types of Jews, be it Chassidish, MO, Litvish, Sephardi, Black Hat, Lubavitch, Zionist, and multiple others that go by so many names. Each branch interprets the Torah in their own unique way. Each Jew connects with our heritage in his/her own way. Just as we have this positive strength in which we stubbornly cling to our own way, we also have the opposing negative trait. It’s hard for us to even acknowledge the good of our coreligionists. Only our own way will do. We can continue like this for many millennium, and somehow I doubt Moshiach could even announce his presence because there will always be a group of Jews denouncing him.
We do have another choice. We can stop looking at what other people do. Seriously. No matter where you look, you’re going to find problems. Every group has them. No-one has perfected Judiasm yet. So stop pointing out the bad in others, because it doesn’t help nobody. It just puts them on the defensive, and they will be quick to point out your own defects. Trust me, you have them. So instead, focus on yourself. Let’s all focus on ourselves. What is our community doing today that God wouldn’t approve of? What are our weaknesses? Let’s work on those first. Another community has problems? Let them deal with it. Meanwhile, be nice, be polite, and show them how much you have grown instead of your judgmental outlook.
