Rabbi Herschel Schachter discussed the concept of elu va'elu, explaining how conflicting viewpoints can both be valid from different perspectives, and gave his full endorsement to USOD's mission of bringing good values and encouraging productive pursuits.
A meaningful conversation at Alta Nu about diverse perspectives in Jewish learning and the values being built into USOD. Rabbi Herschel Schachter shared how different viewpoints can both be right, and expressed full support for the platform's mission to promote good values and productive community.
According to Rabbi Schachter's speech at Alta Nu, this concept explains how different perspectives in Jewish disputes (like between Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai) can both be right, even when they seem to conflict. The idea is that both sides are simply looking at things from different perspectives, and there can be truth in multiple viewpoints.
Rabbi Schachter said he absolutely endorses USOD and called it a 'really noble pursuit.' He explained that while many social platforms exist, USOD promotes values he holds in high regard. He supports USOD's goals of encouraging people to launch businesses, become self-aware about their strengths, form great teams, and spend time in productive ways. He also said he will encourage fellow rabbis to support the platform.
USOD is free.
