Shabbos Parshas CHAYY SARAH 5768

Chasidus - DERECH MITZVOSECHA – AHAVAS YISRAEL.
We discussed the importance of accepting the Mitzvah to love a fellow before the prayers.
The first idea is that to ascend on high our soul has to be complete. Since all our souls are interconnected we each have a part of everyone’s soul within ourselves. Therefore if we disconnect from someone else by hating that person we are in effect pushing away part of ourselves leaving us crippled.

The second point explained in the MAMAR is: in our source which is the infinite light of G-d we all are one. We want to connect to our source through prayer. If we don’t feel that way then we can’t unite with the light of G-d.

We came up with the following example. When two brother’s fight, and then one of the brothers wants to connect to the father, the father can’t accept the child completely, because the father is the source of both children and to him they are both important he therefore cannot accept one child separating from the other.
