Baseless Hatred and the Redemption
A teaching ofRav Boruch Yehoshua Yerachmiel Rabinowitzהרב ברוך יהושע ירחמיאל בן נתן דוד רבינוביץProfile ›
In Binat Nevonim the Rebbe teaches that the root of all sins, and the one that brought about the Churban, was the sin of strife between Jews. Only repairing that sin can bring the Geulah. He understands the Holocaust as a Divine process that mended this sin, and not as a punishment for heresy or for Zionism.
