LEVITICUS | 19:17 hate — LEV556 It is far better and more positive to let ...

LEV556 It is far better and more positive to let the anger out rather than to harbor it inside and let it seethe and fester. Thus, a Jew is not permitted to hate a person in his heart, but should confront the person in as nice and non-angry fashion as possible, as discussed above [this verse]. Finally, Maimonides, who was careful and exacting in every word he wrote, does write that sometimes- if the issue is a very grave and large one-it is proper to get angry, but only once in a while, so that this emotion never becomes habitual.
