HESED: KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה

KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה :

– PRAYER OF CONCESSION ON FIRST QUARTER MOON

It is written, “O ye that love the Lord, hate evil; He preserveth
the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the
wicked.” He asks, what is the connection between “hate evil”
and “He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked?”
In order to understand that, we must first bring the words
of our sages, “The world was not created, but either for complete
righteous, or for complete evil.” He asks, is it worthwhile
creating the world for complete evil, but not worthwhile for
incomplete righteous?
