Eliezer taught us that bringing as few as two Jews together has the potential of transforming the world. During this Hakhel year, may we emulate Eliezer by ourselves making Hakhel gatherings, bringing together family and friends for melave malkahs, birthdays and other occasions. In this merit, may we finally usher in the era of the ultimate unity with the coming of Moshiach, when Am Yisrael will all return to the Holy Land, with the building of the Bais HaMikdash Hashlishi. May it be now!
