Why do rabbis create halachic loopholes to solve some problems and not others?

Love your neighbor, a prescription for our time

When the sages, in our double Torah portion of Acharei Mot-Kedoshim this week, addressed the classic Jewish commandment to “Love your fellow as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18), they wondered: How is it possible to require that we can love others as much as we love ourselves?  Rabbi Baruch Halevi Epstein (1860-1941), best known for his commentary “Torah Temimah (The Perfect Torah),” based on a teaching of Maimonides, says we are enjoined to treat our fellow human beings with honor and respect. Maimonides writes: “Each man is commanded to love each and every one of Israel as himself, as the verse states.”  In “The Metsudah: Chumash/Rashi” by Rabbi Avrohom Davis, the translation follows virtually every other ChumashI am familiar with, but it adds, like Maimonides, “You shall love your fellow [Jew] as yourself.” This begs the question: Does the Torah confine this love to just Jews or all of humankind?  

Dream It, Do It

The son of a rabbi from Kew Gardens, Queens, Eli was short, focused, a powerhouse of energy, and determined to channel his talents, charisma, and easy rapport with children into Klal Yisrael’s future: the youth. “It’s no exaggeration to say that he was one of the Founding Fathers of American Yiddishkeit in the 1960’s  or that there was no yeshivah boy in Brooklyn who did not know Eli Teitelbaum’s name,” says Rabbi Shimon Grama, former National Director of Pirchei Agudas Yisrael.
