What Should We Hate? The Torah’s Guide to Hatred, Criticism, and Growth
Rabbi Ariel Mizrahi
Hatred can be destructive, but is there anything the Torah actually tells us to hate? This lesson explores how resentment, defensiveness, cynicism, jealousy, and misplaced hatred can hold us back, while criticism can become an opportunity for growth. The ultimate lesson is to distinguish between the person and the behavior: reject falsehood and wrongdoing, while continuing to value and care for the person.
