<![CDATA[<p>ACHAREI - KEDOSHIM</p><p>How to agree with those that disagree with you.</p><p>It is no secret that we are living in a highly polarized era. Everything is treated as a zero- sum game. It's either you think like me, or you are unworthy of existence.</p><p>Surveys show that people boycott businesses and products because of opposing views.</p><p>Another survey shows that hostility within the Jewish people today is greater than the hostility between Jews and their sworn enemies.</p><p>Is this the right path? Is a person defined by their views and deserving of being erased when those views are dangerous and unacceptable?</p><p>This difficult question arises in a personal and intimate context as well: in the relationship with one’s children. Can a parent sever ties with their child if the child is a source of anguish?</p>
