Tzemach Tzedek on This Week’s Pirkei Avos (New)
In this week’s Pirkei Avos we learn that the world was created with 10 utterances rather than one, in order to make the tzadikim’s reward greater and the reshoim’s punishment greater. Why is it important to make the reshoim’s punishment greater?

Reward and Punishment
