OU TARYAG MITZVOS MITZVA 80. Donkey Pong: The obligation to help someone unload an animal
(L"N SHLOMO BEN MORDECHI AND R"S FOR Azriel Mordechai ben Rochel Devorah)
This is an interesting verse, so let’s look at it piece by piece.
The verse begins, “If you see a donkey belonging to a person you hate struggling under its load…” Normally, one is not permitted to hate another Jew, as we will see IY”H in Mitzvah #238. So, presumably, this refers to a person that one is permitted to hate, such as an unrepentant, habitual sinner.
