And that’s why we identify with all observant Jews,
whether they’re Jews in Teiman or Lakewood or Lubavitch
or Bnei Brak or in Boro Park or Baltimore. Wherever they
are, we identify with them because we’re one with them.
Whether they’re Sephardi Jews, whether they’re Syrian
Jews, whether they’re Egyptian Jews. All the Jews who are
loyal to the Torah, that’s our people. That’s the Am Echad
of the Hashem Echad and we have to identify with them –
you can’t feel like he’s an outsider. A Galicianer can’t think,
“I’m a stranger to a Hungarian Jew.” No, we’re not strangers
to anybody if they’re loyal Jews.
