One G-d, Many Voices: How Diversity Makes Us Whole
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath unpacks a fascinating teaching: why does G-d reject the idea of a single-stone altar? At first glance it’s just about ancient rituals, but the deeper message is timeless. Real faith and real life can’t be built on “one stone” one path, one perspective, one style. True oneness comes from many stones joined together. This class explores how individuality and diversity aren’t just tolerated by G-d, they are essential to His plan.
Key Takeaways
- Oneness ≠ sameness: G-d is One, but He created a world of diversity.
- The danger of single-stone thinking: When we make faith, truth, or life only in our image, we exclude everyone else.
- The power of many stones: Each person carries a unique piece of truth, and together we make the divine symphony whole.
- Celebrating difference: Authentic spirituality means honoring the uniqueness of others, not fearing it.
- Practical takeaway: Stop trying to make others fit your mold; instead, see how their “stone” adds to the altar of life.
