“You shall not hate your brother in your heart” means it is forbidden to hope that something bad will happen to a fellow Jew. This is true even if we neither speak nor act against them. Additionally, if we hate another so much that we refuse to say hello or speak to them, we transgress this prohibition.

    Was it good? Did you encounter an issue? Have a suggestion for improvement? We'd love to hear from you!

    The Jewish tradition with all of its mitzvot, practices, and ambitions for the perfection of the world, in the life of the individual, the family, society and the nation, in the cycle of life and the cycle of the year, on weekdays, on Sabbaths and on holidays.
