We're going to talk today about the circle dance of Jewish unity. And I think we start off by understanding that really everybody wants Jewish unity. And if everyone would be more like me, we'd finally have it. So that's everyone's attitude. But let's get into it a little bit deeper and hopefully we'll be able to get somewhere towards Jewish unity. All right. One of the one of these sources that I like to call on which is very much uh not known is the Schlahakadosh. The Schlahadosh, one of the great cabalists from a few hundred years ago. He says that when Yakov had all of the tribes around him before he passed away, when he was on his deathbed, we know it says in the Torah, "Gather around and I will tell you what will be in the end of days." The says like this Jacob wanted to reveal the end of days. He wanted to reveal the time of Messiah to his sons and therefore he said to gather around because it's impossible that the end should come. It's impossible that Messiah should arrive when there exists baseless hatred when there exists baseless division between the tribes of Israel. Rather, everyone needs to be there needs to be a gathering of the Jewish people. There needs to be a oneness within the Jewish people. And the reason I enjoy this source so much is because people think that this idea began with the destruction of the second temple that we know that they say that the second temple was destroyed primarily because of baseless hatred. That was the spiritual defect by the Jewish people and that's something that we need to repair in order to bring about the third bases
