What does the Rebbe teach about Ahavas Yisrael — loving every Jew?
The Rebbe teaches that Ahavas Yisrael, a baseless love for every Jew, is crucial, especially in the current era of exile [1, 2]. This love is seen as the rectification for "sinas chinam" (baseless hatred), which is identified as the cause of the exile [2]. The Rebbe also mentions that instructions regarding this have been given to all Chassidim and Jews more broadly [3].
