What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yehoshua Nissan’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
We have to love our fellow Jew. Love your friend like you love yourself. The word "ve'ahavta" which we translate to mean love them can also be translated actually as cause them to be loved. Not love them, cause your friend to be loved by other people. That you should act in a way that makes people love Hashem. That's the mitzvah, one of the aspects of the mitzvah of loving Hashem, is that you should behave in a way that makes others love Hashem. So the same way that you should love your friend also means, my grandfather said, that you should cause your friend to be loved by others. This is what it means. Your friend should become beloved Your friend should become beloved through you. Like yourself. What does that mean? That people should love you and people should honor you. The same way you want to be respected and loved by others, you should want and cause your friend to be loved and respected by others. Now listen to this.
