Loving our neighbor is perhaps the most difficult task we have to accomplish on our journey.  The entire Torah and indeed all of Kabbalistic wisdom is summed up in loving our neighbor.  If we wish to transform our ego nature, this is the only way it can be accomplished.  All of the tools that Kabbalah gives us are useless if we are not using them to this end.  It is easy to love those who seem like us or who make us feel "comfortable".  If we extend love to those people, this is a good thing.  However, Kabbalah teaches that loving people who are like us and make us feel good is the same as loving ourselves and there is no transformation involved.  We must also extend our love to those who make us feel uncomfortable and who are not like us.  This can be a real challenge, the real bread of shame.  Are we really willing to transform?  Are we really willing to love?  The real proof is in our actions and interactions with one another.
