You once quoted that Rebbi Ila'i's statement may not be referring to a person who wants to sin. He meant that a person who want to perform a Mitzvah without fear of ulterior motives should do so in private. Could you please send me a copy of the sources for that interpretation?
Elozor
I'm enclosing a clip of what we quoted from Yosef Da'as on that subject. If you have any trouble viewing and printing it, please let me know.
Best wishes, and thanks for your encouraging words over the phone -- I'll relay it to our staff!
