Thus, our verse states, “You shall love your fellow, I am Hashem.” This means that the underlying and enduring love that Jews feel for each other attests to the fact that “I am Hashem,” Who resides with you and guides and protects you wherever you are.
The second explanation offered by the Meshech Chochmah is that unlike physical love and desire, which are generated by that which a person sees,[2] spiritual love – such as that for Hashem – is a product of the soul’s yearning for closeness to Hashem, even though He cannot be apprehended by the senses. Likewise, a person’s love for his fellow Jew should be based on an appreciation of their common connection with Hashem. If it is, then the person will love not only the fellow Jews that he knows, but all Jews wherever they are, even if he has never seen them. In this respect, his love for the Jewish people draws from – and is thus similar to – his love for Hashem Himself. Hence, the verse commands “You shall love your fellow as yourself, I am Hashem,” meaning that you should love all your fellow Jews in the same way that you love Me, Hashem.
