Rabbi David Stav: What Really Unites the Jewish People?

What really unites the Jewish people? On the ALL CAPS Rosh Hashanah Special, Rabbi David Stav reflects on something Israelis have rediscovered in recent years: what they share may be much deeper than what divides them. He recalls thousands gathering in Hostages Square to pray for the release of the hostages — people from across Israeli society coming together around a shared cause. Yet when there is no immediate crisis, Stav says Israelis often return to emphasizing their differences: right and left, religious and secular, Sephardi and Ashkenazi. “Our enemies don't distinguish between right and left, religious and secular, Sephardi and Ashkenazi,” Stav says. “For our enemies, we are all the same.” His challenge for the new year: if those divisions don't define us from the outside, perhaps it's time to ask what truly makes us one. ▶️ Watch the full ALL CAPS Rosh Hashanah Special: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_C2Wk9pqYQ Subscribe for new ALL CAPS episodes and highlights every week. 🌐 Website https://israellawcenter.org/ ❤️ Support Our Work https://israellawcenter.org/donate/ 📩 Newsletter https://israellawcenter.org/newsletter/ #JewishUnity #Israel #RoshHashanah
