Minority..Majority...Unity!!

Shoftim

Life is full of times, when there are different points of view.
The opinions of the majority, The opinions of the few

Most say New Balance shoes are a better value, and that they will last longer.
Better fit, more stylish, built stronger.

A majority think that Honda, is the best car out there.
Take a walk around Boro Park; You'll see them everywhere.

As far as New Balance and Honda most agree.
But Chevrolets and Rockports, are something you'll still see.

But even though there is a majority, the minority still remains.
Some people still like Rockports and Chevrolets, still the same.

But lehavdil it was different by the Sanhedrim, i.e. the judges of yesteryear.
Once their decision was pronounced, it was as if the minority "disappeared".

We read of the Shoftim, who were to be proclaimed.
Once a decision was made, they became one and the same.

Let's say twenty-two judges said "let us fight";forty-nine said we should not fight this war.
Once the Sanhedrin paskened not to fight, the minority opinion existed no more.

Only one viewpoint existed, only one opinion.
There was now only one way, of seeing the inyan.

Then after that, and all was said and done,
The Jews would act in unity, together as one.

Wouldn't it be great, if today we had a Sanhedrin as we did years ago.
We would act as one unit; Such achdus we would know!

For today there is not one decision, from a Sanhedrin for us to see.
So inevitably with one another, we sometimes disagree.

But as enemies of the State of Israel, form in every direction.
If we engage in respectful dialogue, we receive H-shem's protection.

Yes, when we respect others, and what they have to say,
Our enemies one and all, will be child's play!
