The disciples of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi once asked him: Which is greater -- to love G‑d, or to love a fellow Jew? Replied the Rebbe: The love of G‑d and the love of a fellow are equally ingrained in the Jewish soul. G‑d loves every Jew. So to love a fellow is to love what G‑d loves, which is greater than to love Him Himself.
