"Echad" in Hebrew is more than just a word; it's a profound concept that invites us to embrace unity and oneness. It teaches us that, just as every letter in the word contributes to its meaning, every individual can contribute to a greater unity in the world. Let the idea of "echad" remind us to seek harmony, togetherness, and the understanding that we are all interconnected. The beauty of the concept is that it unifies that which is diverse.  By striving to understand and live by this principle, we can inspire others to join us in creating a more unified church.
