I hereby agree, to do my utmost In being mindful of myself as a rodef shalom (pursuer of peace), seeking to understand, respect and assist in constructively balancing conflicting needs and perspectives, between individuals and communities, in the spirit of machloket l’shem shamayim (disagreements for the sake of Heaven). “Teach me and instruct me, how to behave with all people in the world so that I may merit being in peace with all, even with those who disagree with me, and so that I should merit to always be a lover of peace and a pursuer of peace, as it is written ‘seek peace and pursue it.” (Rav Nason of Breslav, Likutey Tefilot, B:19).
