Description

Page 138. Discussing ahava (love) and echad (oneness). My love of Hashem is an extension of loving myself. When Moshiach comes, there will be a great ahava. In Adam there was no distinction between Yisroel and the Nations. A general loss of oneness, and later the fragmentation and machlokes among Jews are a result of the cheit (sin) in the Garden. Ahavas Yisroel (loving Jews) does not require hating non-Jews. To reveal Hashem's oneness, we have to be keilim (vessels) of oneness in our lives. The point of mitzvos is to make shalom. Aharon HaKohen did not have a compartmentalized heart. Shechina comes where there is ahava between people.
