Ahavas Yisrael

Torah Wellsprings | June 27, 2025

We quoted above from the Or HaChaim HaKodesh that יגור לא גרה means that the chazir is only unkosher when it doesn't chew its cud. In the future, it will chew its cud and become kosher.

Today, the chazir has solely one siman. The Bas Ayin explains that this hints to people who show that they love their fellow man but are full of hatred in their hearts. This means that they have only one siman, the siman of showing that they love their fellow man, but they lack the other siman, the siman of when their love is for real. In the future, the chazir will have two simanim. This means that in the future, ahavas Yisrael will be genuine and real. People will show that they love their fellow man, and it will be true. The Bas Ayin says that when it is so, Moshiach will come.

On the topic of ahavas Yisrael, we share the following story:

A chassid of the Pnei Menachem zt'l was very worried about an operation in the hospital that was scheduled for immediately after Pesach. The Pnei Menachem asked him for the name of his doctor, and then the Pnei Menachem said, "You don't have to do the operation. Call the doctor tomorrow and cancel the appointment. You will be healed without the operation."

The man was overjoyed because he didn't want to undergo the surgery. The entire yom tov he was relieved and happy, and he enjoyed the yom tov together with his family.

Motzei Pesach, the Pnei Menachem summoned for this chasid and he asked him about the upcoming operation. The chasid replied, "There won't be an operation. The Rebbe told me to cancel the appointment."

"No," the rebbe replied. "You need the operation. Call up the doctor tonight and reschedule the operation for tomorrow."

"How is that possible?" the chasid asked. "It is impossible to make an appointment from one day to the next. There is always a waiting time."

The Pnei Menachem replied, "Even so, try. Perhaps someone canceled. Perhaps you can have your operation tomorrow!"

The chasid called his doctor, and the operation was performed the next day. Sometime later, the chasid discovered what occurred. After the Pnei Menachem advised his chasid to cancel the operation, the Pnei Menachem immediately called the doctor and said, "My chasid will call you shortly to cancel his appointment. Tell him that you are canceling it, but don't do so. Keep the appointment for him, and he will come on time to his appointment."

The rebbe did this because when he saw how worried his chasid was about the operation, he wanted to give him some solace. The chasid trusted the rebbe, so he prepared for the yom tov Pesach and celebrated the yom tov without worry. After yom tov passed, it was time to get the chasid to go to the appointment for the surgery he needed.
