Abstract:

The Center is, indeed, universal in its acceptance of differences, and while it is integrating and unifying, it does not undermine its philosophy by allowing for separation (an all-Orthodox unit in the day camp) which encourages the continuation and reinforcement of those differences, and this is, by definition, the loftiest level of the concept of "acceptance of difference."
