'''Ahavas Yisroel''' is a positive commandment to love every Jew. Its source in the Torah is the verse "V'ahavta l'reyacha kamocha" (And you shall love your fellow as yourself). In the Torah, Ahavas Yisroel appears as a general and fundamental concept, as brought in the Gemara in the name of Hillel Hazaken: "D'alach sani al taavid l'chavrecha, zo kol haTorah kulah v'idach peirusha" meaning: "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow, this is the entire Torah." And Rabbi Akiva said, "V'ahavta l'reyacha kamocha, zeh klal gadol baTorah" (Love your fellow as yourself, this is a great principle in the Torah). | |||
