Curing Baseless Hatred Our holy sages revealed that the Beis HaMikdash was destroyed because of "baseless hatred," which was prevalent at that time. What can we do to rectify this flaw? In our times, baseless hatred is displayed when we reject people who practice Judaism differently than we do. The various groups reject each other, because they perceive anyone who is different from them as inferior in their fulfillment of Torah. Just as an army needs infantry soldiers, pilots, a tank corp, and medics, etc., so too, Klal Yisrael needs the participation of every observer in order to complete the Torah. Lesson: When you encounter a Jew, who practices Judaism a little different than you, remind yourself that his "brand of Judaism" is just as important to HaShem as is yours. See the good in him, love him, be his friend -- and bring the redemption closer! Chaya Raizel bas Dena needs our prayers for Refuah Shleimah! Click Here for Tehillim Link
