A Formula for Ahavas Yisrael
Each member of Klal Yisrael has a spark within him of every other member of Klal Yisrael. In this light, all the souls of Klal Yisrael are interconnected, like one great family.
Lesson: The Mitzvah to "Love your friend as you love yourself," rests on the principle that every other person is really part of you. Therefore, it is appropriate to love him, just as you naturally love yourself.
App: Wish for good things for your friend and be happy for the good blessings that come his way. Let his honor be dear to you as your own --- because he is actually part of you!
(Based on Tomer Devorah of Rabenu Moshe Cordevaro, Chapter One) |
