In The Making of a Mentsch, these questions and many more are addressed clearly and thoroughly with extensive footnotes, highlighting the importance and significance of mitzvos bein adam l’chaveiro in the Torah and rabbinic literature. In addition, it shows how halachic authorities analyze and probe these mitzvos with the same rigor and attention as mitzvos bein adam l’Makom.
