Do the wicked help us become closer to Hashem?




SimchaMinute
A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

We should separate ourselves from the ways of the wicked (resha’im), from their amusements, and from their habits. Whatever, Hashem does not like we should also not like.

We are fulfilling part of the service of Hashem with our minds through the mere fact of thinking that we dislike the ways of the wicked. — Ohr Avigdor Hakdama

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do likewise. Simchas Hachaim Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s insights.
