[Avodah] [Areivim] L'sheim shmayim

[Ben Waxman via Avodah]

My intent, or my desire, is to reduce the number of issues on which we 
decide to break Torah community into even more pieces.  If these issues 
are meta halachic, or have a bad feeling, then let's take the argument 
between the RWMO and LWMO down a notch or two. Let's lower the tones.

For decades, the DL community has said to the Chareidi community that 
the latter can't cut out the former because of issues like Zionism or 
secular learning, issues which many in the Chareidi community consider 
to be kefira. If so, than kal v'chomer many of the issues dividing some 
of American Orthodox communities. There are some real issues, no doubt 
about it. But I don't see the point in getting hung up on multiple 
non-issues.
