Building Tomorrow [Hardcover]

Building Tomorrow Sinas Chinam. How it starts, how it spreads, and how to get rid of it for good
by: Rabbi YY Rubinstein

It would be hard to put into words th suffering the Jewish people have experienced during this terrible exile without repeating cliches like "rivers of tears" or "seas of blood."

As Rabbi YY Rubinstein reminds us in his new book. hatred of the Jewish people began when we first allowed ourselves to hate other Jews.

Building Tomorrow recalls the words of the Jerusalem Talmud that if you live in a generation that did not see the Temple rebuilt, it is because you and your generation are behaving toward one another in precisely the same way as the generation that caused its destruction.

This book offers practical advice on how to combat the scourge of sinas chinam. It provides an analysis of how it starts and how it can be stopped for good.

In addition Building Tomorrow contains new translations of two essential works that address this topic, the Chafetz Chaim's Ahavas Yisrael and the first chapter of Rav Moshe Cordovero's Tomer Devorah.

As Rabbi Rubinstein points out, my late father in law the saintly Manchester Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Yehuda Zev Segal zt''l, did so much during his lifetime to make sure the message and mission of the Chafetz Chaim was not forgotten. Instead he strengthened it and made it grow.

Building Tomorrow is an important tool for any Jew who is committed to playing his or her part to building a tomorrow when the curse of sinas chiam is gone for good and the Third Temple returns forever to stand shining in Yerushalayim, Hashem's golden city.
