Ahavat Chinam

Encouraged by popular culture

Sounds like Woodstock

And is not an authentic Jewish value

Sinas chinam is solved by

ואהבת לרעך כמוך

Which does not apply to all Jews

לאחיך בתורה ובמצות

Chazal list numerous types of Jews

We’re commanded to hate

And Hashem hates some too

Confirmed in the annals of halacha

From the Rambam to the Chofetz Chaim

Till today

Moshiach’s arrival depends on teshuva

Not on imagination

Years ago, my Rebbe said

“I wonder which is worse

Sinas Chinam

Or Ahavas Chinam?”
