Introduction to Gittin - פתיחה למסכת גיטין.
It takes a long time to build whereas destruction can happen in an instant. Therefore, we can and often should be quick in our decisions to build (because there is time to reverse the decision), but take time over decisions to undo that which has been built. This idea helps explain the dimension of intentionality in a Jewish Divorce document.
