- Q. See above questions. Are there anymore limitations to that formerly great principle?
A. Sadly there are. Nesivos Hatalmud (Nesiv 5) maintains that it only applies to the mitzvos we do directly for Hashem’s name, but not on the ones that are “lechavero” or for the benefit of other humans. Since in those last ones, the real benefit intended is actually essential.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu Shlit’a and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a.
Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a. added recently that: Maharal maintains that every (mitzva) bein adam lchaveiro is also bein adam lamakom, (Every mitzva that applies to others, is in essence also a mitzva to Hashem).
