לא תשנא את אחיך בלבבך הוכח תוכיח את עמיתך ולא תשא עליו חטא. The Maggid of Mezritch says that prior to offering rebuke it is always important to self check first. Rebuke must be borne out of a sense of אהבה for another – discipline must come from love. The pasuk is admonishing us that first we must remove any traces of hatred and only then can we offer guidance and perspective that will have true impact and value.
