00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:02.484
That's also how you
make better activism,
2
00:00:02.509 --> 00:00:04.222
by not just doing what you
think is the right thing to do,
3
00:00:04.247 --> 00:00:06.650
but doing what
other people need.
4
00:00:07.194 --> 00:00:08.956
How do you serve peace not because
I want to make peace,
5
00:00:08.981 --> 00:00:12.738
but because these people need that
and how do we help him get that.
6
00:00:13.833 --> 00:00:16.385
You know once we start talking
about giving each other
7
00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:19.274
what each of our communities need
and are looking for
8
00:00:19.299 --> 00:00:23.374
then we can talk about God giving
us the blessing of peace from above.
9
00:00:24.589 --> 00:00:27.770
Rabbi Menachem Froman
used to always say:
10
00:00:27.795 --> 00:00:30.371
"peace is a name of God.
11
00:00:30.489 --> 00:00:32.129
And it's a blessing
that comes from above.
12
00:00:32.154 --> 00:00:35.148
It's the blessing that holds
all the other blessings."
13
00:00:35.388 --> 00:00:36.952
And you can't make peace.
14
00:00:36.977 --> 00:00:38.503
I can't make peace.
15
00:00:39.771 --> 00:00:42.254
I can do what it
takes that peace can come.
16
00:00:42.279 --> 00:00:44.461
I can do what it takes to receive
that blessing to make
17
00:00:44.486 --> 00:00:46.453
a space that's ready for peace.
18
00:00:46.849 --> 00:00:48.412
But peace is between enemies
19
00:00:48.437 --> 00:00:50.928
so inherently one side's
not in control of the other.
20
00:00:50.992 --> 00:00:52.803
So you can't make peace.
