Imagine if in all Shul’s the openly strong supporters of opposite parties could get along & Daven together.
Imagine if instead of “rubbing it in” the winning side took the time to feel the pain of a fellow Jew & be there to listen, console & empathize.
From a Shul Ruv in Baltimore:
One of the most vocal Democrats in our shul was visibly in distress throughout Shacharis this morning.
While we were wrapping our tefilin, one of the staunchest pro-Trump congregants slowly made his way across the shul.
My back arched. This will not be pretty.
Mr. Pro-Trump walked up to the distraught Democrat and put his arm around him. “I’m so sorry. This must be really hard for you.”
He then spent the next few minutes as his fellow Jew unloaded and he listened with empathy.Sooooo beautiful!!!!
can you imagine some Jewish person thinking an election outcome is something they should consider important? can you imagine the crookedness of validating that kefira?
The Trump supporter in this story sounds like the average Yiddishe Trump supporter.
And here I’m wondering if the rolls were reversed would the democrat do the same or gloat
Beautiful.
What a special loving jew. Feeling the pain of his brethren brother in Klal yisroel. We need to improve a lot in the mitzvah of nosei b’ol which means feeling the pain of another Jew in any situation and standing with him at his side knowing that you are always there for him or her. Then we will truly be worthy of the coming of Mashiach already bkarov.
I love this! This should not even be a chiddush, this should be obvious. Our connection to another Jew is WAY above politics. Thanks OP for sharing this.
@Coffee addict,
Hopefully it would be the same reversed, as we are Jews, driven by the Torah Hakdosha, not just empty politics…I made it a point not to discuss American politics in shul.
I know my view is not the same as most of the mispallim.
However, my party won my state, the other mispallim take solace in winning country wide.None of this is appropriate discussion in the Beis Medrash
> can you imagine some Jewish person thinking an election outcome is something they should consider important?
Can you imagine gemoras discussing how someone became a king or an emperor?
Kefirah???
Are you serious?
The Gedolim said to go out and vote as they themselves did!
So don’t you think the outcome is important?pure > Hopefully it would be the same reversed, as we are Jews, driven by the Torah Hakdosha, not just empty politics…
You can look at CR posts in 2020 and 2012 and maybe even 1976 and see what was said then.
CTL: Why is it any less appropriate than discussing the weather, the crime rate, health foods or sports?
