Hayom Yom 6 Tishrei - Teshuva by loving your fellow

The daily Hayom Yom with Rabbi Yosef Katzman · Sep 21, 2023 · 3m

קִצּוּר בִּאוּר אוֹפֶן הג

An explanation [by the Rebbe Rashab] of the third approach, abridged:

ו, וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ

“Love your neighbor as yourself.”

כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַר רַבֵּנוּ הַזָּקֵן, אֲשֶׁר זֶהוּ כְּלִי לִוְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת הוי' אֱלֹקֶיךָ

As the Alter Rebbe explained, fulfilling this mitzvah is a medium for [attaining the level at which one can] “love G‑d your L‑rd.”

וּבִאוּר בַּמַּאֲמָר כָּל שֶׁרוּחַ הַבְּרִיוֹת נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּ רוּחַ הַמָּקוֹם נוֹחָה הֵימֶנּוּ

It also underlies the principle that “anyone with whom his fellowmen are pleased, G‑d is pleased with.”
