The Recurring Dilemma of the Rogatchover and the Students of Rebbe Akiva
ולא תחללו את שם קדשי ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל - ויקרא כב:לב
This verse is the source that a דבר שבקדושה can't be recited with less than a minyan, even nine people and one wicked person have the ability that the nine people don't. How does the presence of the one wicked person elevate the group?
Why were the students of Rebbe Akiva unable to show respect for each other?
We rule like R' Meir that Bnei Yisrael, however wicked, are still called the children of Hashem.
Rogatchover: Is a minyan an entity unto itself or is it just the sum of its parts?
