Ahavat Yisrael (Hebrew: אהבת ישראל) is a mitzvah in Judaism to have "Love of one's fellow Jew".
[1] A biblical idea, the concept of Ahavat Yisrael has been elaborated upon by the Chabad movement.
[2] The source of the concept of Avahat Yisrael comes from Vayikra 19:18 (Leviticus 19:18).
[3] The Zionist Rabbinic Coalition, a group of American Reform, Conservative, and Modern Orthodox rabbis, has linked the concept of Ahavat Yisrael to Zionism and support for the State of Israel.
The organization released a letter in 2022 claiming that anti-Zionist Jews "lack ahavat Yisrael" and should not be ordained as rabbis.
