How could it be that the students of R’ Akiva passed away in a plague because “they did not respect each other” if their teacher was so particular about the Mitzvah of Ahavas Yisroel? And the Rebbe’s explanation on this matter.

“WE accepted it as a chov?”
Rabbi Butman, the pshat if tefilas maariv is a reshis is that if another mitzva comes up at maaiv and if one davens maariv he won,t be able to do this mitzva is maariv a reshus or choiva. ayin sham tos. ober it’s a fina chapin regard to r’ shimon bar yochai
