After hearing a well-known Rabbi give a fiery
derashah against the secular Jews in Eretz Yisrael,
Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz] expressed his
displeasure with the tone of the speech.
�True, is it hard for us to reach the ahavas Yisrael
of Reb Yitzchak Levi of Berditchev,� he said,
�but we are commanded to keep far away
from hatred of our fellow Jews.�
