Ok, I’ve avoided posting a DT ever since the inception of this thread. I’ll be brave tonight. I hope it’s short enough. Here you go!
????? ? ?? ??? ?????
The parsha begins: ????? ? ?? ??? ????? Rashi says that the word ????? is a term of endearment, a loving way to call to ???. This would seem inconsistent with the word ????? which we know is a strong way of speaking to someone. Why does the pasuk juxtapose (good hangman word) the two words whose connotations are opposite? The answer is that Hashem is modeling for us how to teach people. Before you can teach something, there has to be love. You want to help someone do the right thing? There must be ????? in order to do ?????.
