Ahavat Yisrael

Your response to Ron:

Quote, "have no share in the G-d of Israel" with regard to extreme outliers.

We Jews are all part of G-d's creation, chosen and granted free will. Some will drift to do evil, yet still be loved, with attempts to be shown the good. With regard to excommunication, I can speak to this. I am a descendant of Misnagdim, Orthodox Jews in the Baltics, that cast out the Chassidim for their "behavior". A Jew cannot be excommunicated for any reason, and I believe that this was part of the teaching of the Rebbe of blessed memory. Reply

Exactly what is love? If you say you love chicken for example, is that really true that you have genuine feelings for the chicken? Absolutely not! You only love yourself and the pleasure the chicken gives you when you eat the chicken. In many relationships people feel an attraction for another person because they enjoy their company, or they derive some benefit physical or emotional from that relationship.
When the Almighty commands us to love Him it is completely for our own benefit since, He does not need our love.
We can sincerely say that true love begins with admiration for the person's moral fiber and high caliber of ethics and humaneness. Every Jew intrinsically has accepted the yoke of Heaven upon himself, and if he personally did not accept it, then his parents accepted the heavenly yoke for themselves and all generations to come.
Whereas we do love all humanity, those that accept the heavenly yoke upon themselves deserve a greater level of admiration & Love. Reply

Does Ahavat Yisroel extend to proven Jewish traitors, moisrim, excommunicated etc.

I agree. My question is, shouldn’t Jews love all people the same way? Reply

A Christian who has supported and has links. i will always support Israel and the Jewish people Reply

shalom on earth, goodwill towards all. Reply

The binding of every Jew to all Jews, no matter identity, creates a bright light on this world, teaching Chesed and caring for every human soul. This is the most important lesson I learnt from the Rebbe's teaching. May his memory be for a blessing. Reply

All AM Israel shares one neshama. If you hurt another jew you are actually hurting yourself.
If you show chesed to another jew, Chesed will return to you.
Mashiach will come only by practicing
Charity and kindness even to persons who do not seem to deserve it. Reply

Today, there appeared ( not consciously clicked on) on my screen many pictures of Chassidim photographed at 770 with the title the secret of Chabad, then multiple photographs of Chassidim around the world. This is a reflection of Ahavat Yisrael. It was beautiful to see many Rabbi's who have taught me through Chabad.org and their families and at the heart of these images is the image of the late Rebbe Menachem Mendle Schneerson. What a wonderful example demonstrating the truth from the teachings of Torah. Todah. Reply

An everlasting love ♥️ Reply

When Jews will start to truly love each other indiscriminately then there will be hope for the rest of humanity. I have unfortunately encountered discrimination because I was Sephardi! For me every human being is my equal. Regardless of all the apparent distinctions. We are all incarnated spirits. Some more shiny than others, who can illuminate those who need it most. I resist the urge (as I am human) to judge a group of people because of their gender, colour, faith, social status etc. I tackle the individual and realise that the most angry and miserable are the ones who need the most help. They are the ones who need to be loved! It’s easy to love the lovables and difficult, yet doable to love the rejects. But this can be the only way to change the world. I believe in changing the world, one hug at the time for every human being. Reply

When the Jews implement Ahavat Yisrael, mutual responsibility towards each other, then they become as one man in one heart and mind.

This state generates a holy structure, it resembles the nature of G_d. This state resonates His Love and care so that we can attract His light to flow between us. Then no harm can come upon us. No virus, no tragedy like happened at Meron and no rockets can be fired a upon our cities!

When we don't overcome the evil inclination that separates us, we don't draw the light between us so that we leave a vacuum for negative forces to enter.
These negative attacks are an indication of the state of our unity. Tragedies are wake-up calls for us to feel that sublime connection towards each other. Then we draw His presence between us and spread it beyond to all humanity. No harm can enter and all calms down in the world. This is our responsibility to each other and our mission to humanity.
Let's join our hearts to feel this sublime connection of care between us! Reply

Many people ask why the tragedy at Meron took place on lag beomer? Why these 40 or so korbanot? Whereas I do not have an answer for this, I do know that if there would have been more Ahavat Israel we would have shielded from this tragedy.
You might ask, " How do you know this?"
The answer is very simple. We see that when the tower of Babel was being built our Rabbis tell us the people of Babel were waging war against Hashem. Nevertheless Hashem did not kill them but only mixed up their languages because they were united and one nation. Reply

To live according to the law of love, to love thy friend as thyself is the foundation of the Jewish people.
'Yisrael' homes from the word Yashar-El which means connected to G_d.
When a group of people aspire to G_dliness, they transcend their self love to live in mutual responsibility for each other. This united aspiration generates a channel through which His energy can flow. This was accomplished in ancient Babylon under the guidance of Abraham. Then Moses presented this method of connection to G_d in the Torah.
Now we must revive this method to incorporate all humanity in this modern Babylon in which we suffer the consequences of confict and hatred caused by self love and egoistic desires.

When all aspire to care for another then we will connect to G_d who will gift us the force of love to bond us in unity. Then no harm in any form can enter this body that becomes the collective soul of humanity. This is our extended responsibility. Reply

The power of grace is very great.
What is grace? It means you don't really deserve something but someone is nice enough to give you the courtesy.
It says that Noach found favor in Hashem's eyes. This means that really Noach did not deserve to he saved but Hashem said,
"OK close enough"
We should always remember to show grace to others so Hashem will show grace to us Reply
