Birkat Kohanim With Love

The Daily Halacha Moment - Birkat Kohanim With Love

״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)

“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)

Question:

I heard a Kohen can’t give a beracha if he’s in a dispute with a fellow, is that true?

Answer:

If there is unresolved hatred, tension, or animosity between a Kohen and members of the congregation, the Kohen is required to leave the room before the blessing of Retzeh in the Amidah. This is because Birkat Kohanim must be recited be’ahavah, with love and sincere affection toward the people. This condition is not just an ideal but a fundamental requirement, as it is explicitly stated in the blessing itself: “…Who has sanctified us with the sanctity of Aharon and commanded us to bless His people Israel be’ahavah.” If the Kohen is not able to sincerely offer the blessing with love due to unresolved negative feelings, he is halachically disqualified from participating in the blessing and must remove himself beforehand to preserve the integrity of the mitzvah.
