LEV615 Thus, to achieve atonement, every Jew must focus on the needs of the sinning Jew, or the Jew who has no Torah learning and no observance. (Rema on Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 664:7; Shelah commentary on Sukkah, Perek Ner, Mitzvah 7). This sensitivity to sinners was also taught by Beruriah, the wife of Rabbi Meir. She castigated her husband for praying that sinners should die, convincing him that he was in error and that Judaism only advocates the disappearance of sin and/or the habitual sinners. Beruriah then urged her husband to pray that these men would repent (Berachot 10a). It is important to note that when rebuking the sinner for his or her evil ways, a Jew must possess sensitivity. There is a general commandment in the Torah to admonish Jewish sinners in order to induce them to repent [this verse]. Why is it that the commandment not to hate someone and the commitment to rebuke are placed in the very same verse? This teaches that even when one rebukes a person who is sinning, the rebuke may never be with even the smallest portion of hate.
