Ahavas Yisroel
Love Your Fellow Jew
“According to the description given at the end of Babylonian Talmud’s Tractate Sotah of the generation immediately preceding the Messianic Redemption, it is likely that we are now at the end of that generation—at the entrance to [the era of] Redemption. Since baseless hatred is the cause of the exile…we must take steps to completely negate baseless hatred. This is possible only through unwarranted love. When the cause of the exile will be nullified, the exile will automatically follow suit.”
— The King Moshiach Shlita
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]While all the mitzvos in the Torah represent unity in a symbolic way, ‘Ahavas Yisroel’ – to love a fellow Jew, is the one mitzvah where the theme of unity is explicit. This mitzvah campaign reinforces our obligation to love our fellow as ourselves, to encourage them and help them in every way possible.
Strengthening in observance of this mitzvah also goes the furthest in repairing the basic split in creation that led to the exile. The second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed [In the year 70, by the roman empire] because of senseless hatred and divisiveness. The key to rebuilding it is through senseless love–unconditional giving and acts of kindness.
On October 20, 1991, CNN correspondent Gary Tuchman approached Moshiach and asked him what his message to the world was about Moshiach. Moshiach answered, “Moshiach is ready to come now. It is only on our part to do something additional in the realm of goodness and kindness.”
A perfect world starts with us, a world where everyone is focused on only doing goodness and kindness, starts with one. Be that one.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
