Be Within Stay Above

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

« Previous

Don’t be afraid of the other person because he is different from you. There is far more in common between any two human beings than there are differences.

As for the differences, think of them as the hooks that hold us together.
Differences are that which we have most in common.

The Rebbe was talking to children and discussing relationships between Jews and non-Jews.

Hashem Echad

May we all merit to learn the lesson that the Rebbe, of blessed memory, was teaching those young children. May we be as young children and absorb this important teaching. By treating every human being with the dignity he or she deserves we pave the way for Moshiach. May he come speedily in our days!
Even if you think that some human beings do not have a soul, we must treat everyone and everything as if it has been created by G-d because it has been created by our greatest Love - G-d. He is One, and we his creations are one our differences should not be a reason for separation but unification.

Thank You Rabbi for sharing the great wisdom of the Rebbe in short insightful ways.

Re: differences

The Torah states repeatedly at its outset that the human being was created "in the Divine image". That includes all human beings. The rabbis reiterate this in the Mishnah, "Precious is the human being, for he was created in the Image."
What is that Divine Image? It has always been understood as meaning a Divine soul.

A person may corrupt or destroy that Divine Image. In some it may shine more than in others. But in essence, the essential divine quality of the human being that empowers him to choose how his life will unfold, all of us have access to this gift.

Nevertheless, a goy is still a goy and most likely has no neshamah. I say this because I am myself a goy.
