Thank you Thank you, for this insight in Loving ones fellow as yourself. Living in a world where 'love' for each other is lacking - letting go of other peoples negative ways allow each and everyone to demonstrate a greater love that comes from within ourselves and frees our minds to embrace the Torah wholeheartedly. Practice needed here.
Thank you for the handout, this is very much appreciated
