Who’s Who, According to the Rambam
Excerpts;
“The Rebbe’s answer must have come as a shock to his correspondent. In volume 18 of the collection of letters by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, is found a letter dated the tenth of MarCheshvan, 1958, in which the Rebbe expresses his disapproval that his correspondent has ceased associating with Jews whom he refers to as those who scoff at and rebuff the Torah. ”
“Known for his inclusion of all Jews in the mitzvah of Ahavas Yisroel, the commandment to love your fellow Jew, the Rebbe says that the Torah explicitly does not sanction separating yourself from such people, except for specifically defined cases. The Rebbe refers to the definitions by the Rambam in Hilchos Tshuva, perek Gimmel, Halachos Hes (8) and Yud (10).” read more
