There is a old Jewish parable told about two friends, I could tell you the story, but I think the below video does a much better job…

Hillel the Elder taught us that this point, “Love your neighbor, like you love yourself”, is the point of and base of the whole Torah and Judaism. If we strive to be true friends and to realize that we are all one, than we will also realize that we are one with God and God will become a part of our lives.
Today’s Jewish mission is to be a true friend, find a way of showing that you love your neighbor like you love yourself and through this, bring God into your life.
