When the Rebbe accepted the mantle of leadership, this was his “acceptance speech”:There are three loves: Love of G‑d. Love of Torah. Love of your people, Israel, and your fellow Jew.They are all one. And since they are one, it is impossible to make distinctions between them.They are a singularity, an essence-point. When you grab any part of a singularity, you have all of it. In any of these forms of love, you have all three.So if you see a Jew who has love of G‑d, but lacks love of his people and love of Torah, tell that Jew that this love is incomplete and cannot last.And, on the other hand, if you see a Jew who has love of his people, but lacks love of G‑d and love of Torah, work with that Jew to complete this love with love of G‑d and love of Torah. Show this Jew that it is not enough to provide bread for the hungry and water for the thirsty, that if you truly love a Jew, you must bring that Jew to love Torah and to love G‑d.And then, with all three loves complete, they join in one tight knot that can never be untied.We will be liberated. We were exiled because that love for our people and our fellow Jew was lacking. By healing it, we will bring Moshiach very soon in our days.
