Description

When we harbor ill feelings towards someone else, we should tap into the power of "levad" (aloneness). Once we successfully master "levad", we can love the person that we previously hated. Before Avraham Avinu (Abraham) was able to produce a huge nation, he had to be alone. These days, children become locked into relationships too early. People don’t like to go to Yeshiva or attend shiurim (classes) without being accompanied by friends. Cell phones and modern technology do not allow us to ever be alone.
