Hatred Spoils the Line

Hatred Spoils the Line

Hatred leads to deviation from the rule of law or the proper order of life. Hatred between people disrupts order (shura means the proper order).

("And hatred spoils the covenant, as it is said: And Balaam rose up in the morning and saddled his donkey (in the wilderness 22:21) - and he had not so many servants? But hatred spoils the covenant" - in the beginning of Rava 51:1)
