## Resource

In episode forty-two of the 48 Ways series during the Omer, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe teaches Ma’amido al HaShalom — “establish/stand on peace” (pursuing and maintaining peace). Peace (Shalom) comes from Shalem — wholeness and completeness. While truth is absolute, peace sometimes requires flexibility or forgoing full truth to restore harmony, as God Himself does when blessing His people with peace. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that loving peace is not enough — we must actively pursue it like Aaron HaKohen, who would approach quarreling parties and tell each that the other regretted their actions, restoring peace. See the good and virtues in every person (even if you must dig), focus on positives rather than flaws, and be willing to be uncomfortable for the sake of peace. In relationships, disagreements are inevitable but should never cancel love — use them to strengthen bonds. Peace is the highest blessing and brings God’s presence. _____________ Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on June 17, 2022, in Houston, Texas.
