Let us sit together and ponder. We’ll come up with ideas on how to achieve Achdus.WRONG!
We are approaching the issue backward!
Why do we crave Achdus? What truly unifies us? Simple — our Neshamas are all part of one unit and therefore we intuitively crave Achdus. Intuitively, we feel fragmented without Achdus.
Practically, what is the key to expressing the Neshamah’s desire for Achdus? Torah and Halacha. Simply put, adherence to Halacha unifies Yidden. Without Halacha as our guide, all efforts for peace will at best be temporary. Halacha creates true homogeny and guides us to a single cause. Why do we eat food that has a Hasgachah from a Rav that belongs to a community that is very different from us socially and ideologically? Because we share common ground --Halacha.

The man at the center of the 1991 Crown Heights riot now lives incognito in a New Jersey town, untroubled by memories of his terrible deed.
“Up until today, I left it alone,” Lemrick Nelson Jr., now 34, told The Post. “I don't even think about it.”
“That was 19 years ago,” he said about fatally stabbing Hasid scholar Yankel Rosenbaum at the height of the notorious race riot. “I was a kid then. I made a mistake. Kids make mistakes. I'm a man now. I've never been in or out of trouble. I don't live that life.”
