Roots of Yisrael and Torah

Yisrael’s roots are higher than Torah; yet, the soul in the body is connected to Torah.

Two sayings in regard to Ahavas Yisrael:

• אמר רבי עקיבא זה כלל גדול בתורה
• הלל - זוהי כל התורה כולה

Rabbi Akiva – relates to the soul as found now in the body; within Toras Emes. Hillel - soul in its source higher from the limitations of the Torah - Chesed.
