Reply To: Bain Adam L'chaveiro Vs. Bain Adam L'makom

Essey: The essence of bain adam l’chaveiro is character refinement, however, the Torah has given us guidelines as to when we should act upon these feelings of compassion and when we should give precedence to other purposes and not act upon these feelings. This doesn’t mean that the Torah negates these feelings chas v’sholom.

Shilishi: I meant that in a situation where a Jew is around gentiles, he is allowed to transgress some issurei d’rabanan if his self respect is violated, like undressing in public etc. The same halacha doesn’t apply if he was just in the company of animals.
