What is Peace with Celestial Family?

 Berachos (16b) R. Safra on concluding his prayer added the following: May it be Thy will, O Lord our God, to establish peace among the celestial family, and among the earthly family, and among the disciples who occupy themselves with Thy Torah whether for its own sake or for other motives; and may it please Thee that all who do so for other motives may come to study it for its own sake!

Rashi (Berachos 17b) In the heavenly entourage — in the cohort of the minister angels of the nations. For when the supernal ministers have a conflict amongst them, there is immediately a dispute amongst the nations, as it is written, but now I must go back to fight the minister angel of Persia.

Sanhedrin (98b) And what is the meaning of ‘and all faces are turned into paleness? R. Johanan said: This refers to God's heavenly family i..e., the angels and his earthly family i.e., Israel, when God says, Tthe Gentiles are my handiwork, and so are the Jews; how shall I destroy the former on account of the latter? R. Papa said: Thus men say, When the ox runs and falls, the horse is put into his stall.

    1. The only thing that stopped the illegal rampant autopsies decades ago were Chareidi protests. You are an idiot.

      This is not about autopsies.
      First they attacked a judge's house. Then those thugs were arrested. Now they attack the police station. How do they find time to get off their studies?

    3. What kind of comparison is that?
      Under Israeli law most of the autopsies were illegal and the state wasn't trying to enforce the law. Drastic measures had to be taken.
      This is a case of a mob descending on someone's home and terrorizing him and his family in the name of Torah!
      It sets a lie to "We study Torah because it protects!" Clearly they don't believe that.
