Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, told his son, Rabbi Dovber of Lubavitch: Grandfather, the Baal Shem Tov, said that one must have mesirat nefesh (total self-sacrifice and dedication) on ahavat Yisrael (love of one's fellow), even towards a Jew whom one has never seen.

We have a tradition attributed to the Baal Shem Tov: When one hears an uncomplimentary report about another Jew, even if he does not know the individual referred to, he should be very deeply pained.

Such a puny insignificant being, Man, can bring great delight to the "Greatest of all great"' of Whom it is written, "There is no delving into His greatness."
