Parashat Kedoshim: Love Yourself

Posted on April 30, 2008
Filed Under Torah Studies English Classes |

We will explore a fundamental principle of Judaism: Ahavat Yisrael, the commandment to “Love your fellow as yourself.” We are all created with an inborn self-love, and a natural need for self-protection. How then is it truly possible to love someone to the same degree that you love yourself? We will strive to understand this important mitzvah, beginning with how it’s explained according to the classical commentaries. We will then see how the Chassidic explanation of the commandment leads to the breaking down of the useless barriers that separate us all.
