<p>Wednesday night (August 10<sup><span style="text-decoration: underline;">th</span></sup>, 2021) we completed our study of both versions of Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe’s essay Olam haYedidus. In it Rav Wolbe recorded a shiur he gave to a non-observant audience who were interested in Judaism about its fundamentals. To Rav Wolbe, the fundamental idea of Judaism is to build an <em>Olam haYadidus</em>, a World of Affection. Starting with the relationship a Jew has with Hashem, then how that creates a community of caring among Jews, one of peace and unity between Jews and other peoples, and our responsibilities to the world as a whole. And how this whole structure underlies <em>halakhah</em>, illustrating examples from various <em>mitzvos</em>.</p>
<p><em>Olam haYedidus</em> concludes with a discussion of <em>zarus</em> (estrangement) and <em>akhzarius</em> (cruelty, which Rav Dessler explains as a contraction of <em>akh-zariyus </em>– an extreme estrangement). Our alienation from other people, from G-d and even our “need” to stay busy and never have to build a relationship with ourselves.</p>
<p>Something to think about when singing “<em>Mah yedidus menukhaseikh — </em>How much affection inheres in your rest!” at the Shabbos table!</p>

<p>Next week the Beyond Meaningful Relationship – Relationshipful Meaning <em>chavurah</em> starts our study of Rav Dessler’s <a href="https://aspaqlaria.aishdas.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/08/Qunterus-haChessed.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Qunterus haChessed</a> from Mikhtav meiEilyahu vol I, printed in two parts — pp. 32-51 and pp. 140-145. (Rabbi Aryeh Carmell, who redacted the Rav Dessler’s letters into book form, has translated these sections as “Discourse on Lovingkindness” in Strive for Truth, his translation of volumes I and II of Mikhtav meiEliyahu.) </p>
