Yes, you’ve got a good point. The “lack of cohesion” isn’t just the physical distance. Worse is when the distance is emotional.
I think that this is exactly what Rabbi Arush is trying to address, especially after the Meron disaster last year. The only real way out of our morass is to start looking at others in a more brotherly way. We have to change ourselves. At this point, it’s like climbing a glass wall because the divisiveness is so apparent.

A real difficulty for us in the Diaspora is finding meaningful associations with other Jews. Because of the endless divisions between our people many of us are alone even in places with synagogues. In our case, we meet together online, but the lack of Jewish cohesion is heartbreaking. Suggestions?
