Weekly Letter: Kindness of the Nations Is Sin
With Yaakov’s descent to Mitzrayim, starts the journey of the Jewish people in exile, under the rule now of the non-Jews. The Rebbe in his letter explains the concept of “Kindness of the nations is sin” – so that we may be very cautious about the seeming kindness non-Jews may display to Jews. Sadly, many misinterpret this kindness as a positive thing and use it as a basis for closeness with the non-Jews.
