Hebrew translation:

100. לֹא תִשְׂנָא אֶת אָחִיךָ בִּלְבָבֶךָ הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחַ אֶת עֲמִיתֶךָ וְגוֹ’. מִצְוָה זוֹ לְהוֹכִיחַ אֶת אוֹתוֹ שֶׁחָטָא לְהַרְאוֹת לוֹ אַהֲבָה רַבָּה, שֶׁאוֹהֵב אוֹתוֹ, כְּדֵי שֶׁהוּא לֹא יֵעָנֵשׁ. שֶׁהֲרֵי כָּתוּב בַּקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, כִּי אֶת אֲשֶׁר יֶאֱהַב ה’ יוֹכִיחַ. וּכְמוֹ שֶׁעוֹשֶׂה הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא וּמוֹכִיחַ אֶת מִי שֶׁאוֹהֵב אוֹתוֹ, כָּךְ יִלְמַד אָדָם מֵאוֹתָהּ הַדֶּרֶךְ וְיוֹכִיחַ אֶת חֲבֵרוֹ. בַּמֶּה מוֹכִיחַ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֶת הָאָדָם? הוּא מוֹכִיחוֹ בְּאַהֲבָה בַּסֵּתֶר. אִם יְקַבֵּל אוֹתוֹ – יָפֶה. וְאִם לֹא מוֹכִיחוֹ בֵּין אוֹהֲבָיו, אִם יְקַבֵּל – יָפֶה, וְאִם לֹא – מוֹכִיחוֹ בְגָלוּי לְעֵין כֹּל. אִם יְקַבֵּל – יָפֶה. וְאִם לֹא – מֵנִיחַ אוֹתוֹ וְלֹא מוֹכִיחַ אוֹתוֹ, וְעוֹזֵב אוֹתוֹ שֶׁיֵּלֵךְ וְיַעֲשֶׂה אֶת רְצוֹנוֹ.

Zohar Kedoshim
Continued from previous DZ
#100
Leviticus 19:17
“לֹא תִשְׂנָא אֶת אָחִיךָ בִּלְבָבֶךָ הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחַ אֶת עֲמִיתֶךָ וְלֹא תִשָּׂא עָלָיו חֵטְא.”
“‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor and not bear sin because of him.”
This commandment is to rebuke one who sins and to show him great love, demonstrating that the rebuker loves him so that the one who rebukes will not be punished. For it is written about the Holy One, Blessed be He,
Proverbs 3:12
“כִּי אֶת אֲשֶׁר יֶאֱהַב יְהוָה יוֹכִיחַ וּכְאָב אֶת בֵּן יִרְצֶה.”
“For whom YHVH loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.”
Just as the Holy One, Blessed be He, rebukes those He loves, so should a person learn from this way and rebuke his friend whom he loves.
How does the Holy One, Blessed be He, rebuke a person? He rebukes him in love, in secret. If the person accepts the rebuke, it is good. If not, He rebukes him among his friends. If he accepts it, it is good. If not, He rebukes him openly in front of everyone. If he accepts it, it is good. If not, He leaves him and no longer rebukes him, allowing him to go and do as he wishes.

Lesson;
The act of rebuking should show great love, emphasizing that the intention is to help and care for the other person, leading him to repentance and correction. Rebuke starts in secret, then among friends, then openly; if all else fails, the person is left to his own devices.
It is important to rebuke a person out of love and in a manner that seeks the well-being of the one being rebuked. The process is gradual, ensuring it is done with sensitivity and care, reflecting Hashem’s method of correction.
