Kislev 5 is the yahrtzeit (date of the passing) of Rabbi Shmuel Eliezer Eidels (1555-1631), known by the acronym "Maharsha". Rabbi Shmuel authored a highly regarded and widely used commentary on the Talmud and its primary commentaries, Rashi and Tosfot.

How do you heal a brother?

By entering inside him and experiencing what it is like to be him. And then you can heal together. How do you heal any problem in this world?

By investing yourself within that chunk of the world, so that the problem becomes your problem. And then you can heal your world.

Because, in truth, you can only heal yourself, and that to which you tie your destiny.
