Description

In this shiur, we examine the question of whose love is being referenced in the word "b'ahava," the last word in the bracha recited over Birkat Kohanim. Is it Hashem's love for the Jewish People, or the Kohanim's love for the Jewish People? And what are the practical halakhic ramifications of this question?
