Description

p. 24. What happens when a sefer (book) does not address the specific needs of the individual's search in avodas Hashem (divine service)? Advice delivered from human intellect rather than pnimius (depth) of Torah. No two people have the same way of thinking - this increases the difficulty of teaching a class or raising children. When Rebbis poison the children against their working parents. The greatest cause of sinas Yisroel (hating another Jew). No truly great person ever has or ever will teach hatred of another Jew - no matter how different their deyos (opinions/ideas). Wars don't originate in different deyos - they stem from broken midos (character traits). In the presence of the mida of ahavah (love) then different ideas cannot separate people. "Ish asher ru'ach bo" (a person who has spirit) - someone who can relate to every human being on their spiritual level
