BENEVOLENT BLENDERS

[4a top] Rashba explaining R’ Elazar: Signatures (even that are not needed) from witnesses who sign without proper intention do not just negate their own names, but also invalidate the entire document. The signatures become part of the contract itself and, once integrated, are then inseparable as units [and the whole is viewed as an ineffective agreement].

D-E-ep Thoughts: We must all view ourselves not as selfish independent pieces, but rather a part of a magnificent machine. When we all work selflessly (and blend into one) together, we are able to accomplish much more greater good.
