The famous quip “2 jews, 3 opinions” us often used to illustrate how we can hardly ever agree on a topic… But it has a deeper, truly positive meaning: When 2 jews come together and debate in good faith, they will always reach together a new understanding far beyond what each of them could have reached alone. That is the third opinion. That’s our special power as jews – as long as we are united, BECAUSE we may differ radically in opinion and personality, we achieve greatness.
