Important Message Regarding This Lesson
The Daily Mitzvah schedule runs parallel to the daily study of 3 chapters of Maimonides' 14-volume code. There are instances when the Mitzvah is repeated a few days consecutively while the exploration of the same Mitzvah continues in the in-depth track.
Hurtful Words to a Convert
"You shall not wrong a stranger"—Exodus 22:20.
It is forbidden to verbally distress or humiliate a convert. Such as by telling him, "Yesterday you were an idolater and now you have entered under the wings of the Divine Presence..."
Though it is forbidden to verbally humiliate anyone, one who does so to a convert transgresses this prohibition, too.
