The Jewish people are home again after a long exile \u2014 but we are divided, fragmented, and struggling to find our way to one another.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>I wrote<\/strong> this short booklet exploring the concept of <em>achdut<\/em> \u2014 unity \u2014 not as a political slogan, but as a guide to a living reality. Unity is not something we have to create, it is our true inner reality. All we have to do is uncover what is already there. It is the reality of Knesset Yisrael, the joint soul of Israel. Yet in our times we seem so polarized.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Beside the soul<\/strong> there are the different aspects of desire we use to channel the light of the Creator. This is the basis of the 12 tribes of Israel: 12 different ways of serving the Creator and thus 12 different ways of seeing reality. How do we cope with the fact that in our essence\u00a0 we are one, and on the other hand in the way we see the world we are different?\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Drawing on<\/strong> the Torah, the Zohar, the teachings of Rabbi Yehudah Leib Ashlag, and what I have learned in my life&#8217;s journey, I offer a practical path to uncovering the unity that is our essence.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Unity<\/strong> is not just something nice to have, it is crucial.\u00a0 If we can achieve unity, and thus a more peaceful way of being\u00a0 the outer world will conform, and we can resolve seemingly insoluble problems in a different way.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Getting to the middle way<\/strong> is the Kabbalah&#8217;s advice on making space for the other while not losing ourselves in the process. But it takes awareness and practice.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Written from Tzfat, Israel, in the midst of war and hope.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This is my gift to you \u2014 to download freely, to read, argue with, add to, and pass on in any way you wish.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">With my blessings, <em>Yedidah Cohen, Tzfat<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t    \t            <a\n            \t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/nehorapress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Manual-for-Achdut3.pdf\"\n        target=\"_blank\"\n            class=\"e-9c53f11-763db63 e-button-base\"\n            data-interaction-id=\"9c53f11\"\n            id=Achdut&amp;#x20; data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"9c53f11\" \n        >\n            Download free booklet (English) \n        <\/a>\n    \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f20058 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6f20058\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10d5a2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10d5a2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>I would love to hear your thoughts and responses.<\/em> <em>Write to me at <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"mailto:yedidah@nehorapress.com\">yedidah@nehorapress.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db371bf e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base\" data-id=\"db371bf\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"db371bf\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"db371bf\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What can we do in time of war to help?
