Connected

Why is Sholom , peace & Sholaim , whole part of the same word ?

A vicious terrorist may claim he wants peace as log as he can continue to blow up people. But the truth is that it would be the opposite of peace to allow him to live.

Peace means 4 things - as Aaron explains in Pirkei Avos.
Love Peace
Pursue it ,
Love people &
Bring them closer to Torah.
