The Din-Ahava Pardox of the Yamim Noraim

Thank you again, Rabbi Fetigrin, for your warm words, and I'll tell you a little secret.

When Rabbi Fetigrin and Dov reached out to me, I had a different cheer in mind.

But last night, based on further clarification people, the Rav and others, requested, we're going to go in a different direction.

Okay, so we're going to do this a little more spontaneous, because I oftentimes think of Rav Kuk, or Avram Yitzchak Kuk, the first Rav HaRashi, the way Rav Kuk would sign his letters, he'd write, Avram Yitzchak Kuk, Eved La'am Hashem.

You know, for all of the pomp and circumstance of his position as Rav HaRashi, Rav Kuk operated with no ego.

There was no ego.

He was a Malchal Kitzvakas.

Whether one subscribed to his shitas or not, no one disagreed with his siddqas.

And anyone who's bimlamatera to call Yisrael, there cannot be an ego.

That's treif.

And we're here to serve the schus of bimlamatera to Hashem's people.

And it's what people need.

So we're going to go in a different direction.
