<p>Wednesday night (June 29<sup><span style="text-decoration: underline;">th</span></sup>, 2021) we began Rab Wolbe’s Olam haYedidus. Since the version published in Laniado Hospital’s Torah version lays the foundations at greater length, we started there.</p>

<p>Rav Wolbe opens with a quote from the <em>gemara </em>(<a href="https://www.sefaria.org/Menachot.53a.19" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Menachos 35a</a>):</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p dir="rtl" style="text-align: justify;"> יבא ידיד בן ידיד ויבנה ידיד לידיד בחלקו של ידיד ויתכפרו בו ידידים</p>
<p dir="ltr">Let the beloved, son of the beloved, come and build the beloved for the Beloved in the beloved’s portion, and let beloved ones achieve atonement through it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>With all that mention of <em>yedidus</em>, clearly the concept is central to this picture of Judaism. It’s enough for you to get lost in all the repetition! Don’t worry, Rav Wolbe explains how the gemara unpacks this sentence! This is actually a description of the Beis haMiqdash and Hashem’s relationship to the Jewish People. With all that mention of <em>yedidus</em>, clearly the concept is central to this picture of Judaism.</p>
<p>Rav Wolbe makes the point that everything that exists is there because Hashem thought it was worth existing. Everything is precious. And the world of Torah is building up the <em>bitachon</em> and <em>yir’as Shamayim</em> to feel that <em>yedidus</em> to the world around you.</p>
<p>Notably, R Wolbe describes this <em>yedidus</em> in widening circles of connection — the relationship between Hashem and the Jewish People, which establishes a <em>yedidus </em>between all Jews, one of mutual support, and beyond that acting with others in “ways of peace” and our responsibility beyond humanity to all the rest of existence.</p>
