so there's no better place to go than for simple explanations literal explanations deep explanations all in one you go almost 800 years ago lists each one of the 613 meets vote with the source of it in atalam as well as different reasons behind it above and beyond the simple fact of the reason for the entire to Allah which is it's hashem's will but different what they call tamin different tastes of why different flavors of why this Mitzvah is not only in the Torah but it's to our favorites to uh it's to uh uh for the sake of uh of us you know as uh living a Better Lives so it's about 238 says that in the uh Leviticus chapter 19 verse 17. last week's publisher lot is you shall not hate your brother in your heart says this is specifically referring to secret hatred secret hatred is expressed by the sages of the sifa who say that Hashem specifically stated that this prohibition of hatred is regarding hatred that is kept in the heart hence the reason of why he said hatred in your heart now this is secret hatred secret agent of another person and as also mentioned 16b now the reality is that secret hatred doesn't actually mean that nobody knows like you would normally think but rather secret agent means that the person you hate doesn't know which means that even if you have told other people that you hate this person but he himself doesn't know it's still considered secret hatred and you're still violating the Torah by hating this person because he doesn't know what are you supposed to do he's supposed to tell them listen you did this this and this for me I hate you because of it and give him an opportunity to explain himself and apologize perhaps so the hated person if he knows that uh you hate him then it's called open hatred if he doesn't know then it's called secret hatred if it's secret hatred because he doesn't know that's the specific sin that we're talking about if he does know then it's actually multiple sins what sins are those it's first of all it's you don't love another Jew like you're supposed to second of all you have a sin of burying a grudge against another Jew which is the open hatred and number three you're taking Revenge so we're going to go over all of these bits on the ship so first and foremost let's see when a person exhibits open hatred towards his fellow Jew and thereby that person is aware that he hates him he doesn't transgress this Mitzvah prohibition but rather he transgresses them into our prohibition of you shouldn't take revenge let's recessive now even if a person is uh transgressing by uh openly aiding another person the uh hatred that's in the heart the secret hatred is much worse than open hatred and in fact it's the worst hatred of all so much so that it's regarded as one of the most re the most repulsive trait in the eyes of any intelligent person says because the hatred of the heart causes the greatest evil between people now how do you where do you apply this hatred of another person where and it's it when is it a sin when is it a not a sin rule of thumb the renuk says a person that's transgressing this mitzvah and harbors hatred in his heart it's only a transgression if it's hatred of an upright Jew and says that the uh this Mitzvah is in regards to your your brother your brother and meets vote meaning if this fellow person if this other person is a uh desecrating of the Torah he does secrete Shabbat doesn't keep Shabbat he's intermarried he is uh known to be a criminal not only are you uh not sinning by hating him but in fact it's a Mitzvah sometimes to hate that person says the provision against hating another uh a person's brother as well as obligated the obligation to love uh once fellow applies to a person's brother and fellow in an observance of mitzvot which is somebody that's pursuing the which is somebody's pursuing the Torah but someone that's pursuing wickedness and is willfully desecrating that's creating Shabbat and things of that nature one is permitted to hate such a person openly or in secret but you have to make sure that that hatred is the hatred of that person's sinful ways and not him personally not him personally that's where a lot of people make a mistake when it comes to rebuking and so on they start hating people specifically that's a mistake you're not supposed to hate the person specifically start making fun of his looks and things of that nature that's wrong you're hating the sin specifically you're hating him because of that sin that's the uh the key that's important [Music]
