The Alter Rebbe said: The mitzva of ahavas
yisroel extends to anyone born into am Yisroel, even if you have never met him
How much more so does it extend to
every member - man or woman of the
Jewish community where you live, who belongs to your own community.(היום יום ג' אד"ר)
The Rebbe Maharash once told the Rebbe Rashab that the Alter Rebbe had mesirus nefesh and invested tremendous effort so that all chassidim should literally be like one family, and that every chossid should seek out his friend's material good with real love and affection, as if they were all children of one family.
(אג"ק מהוריי"צ ח"ד ע' לד)
The Rebbe once said that the first step for chassidim to bring about achdus Yisroel at large is to create achdus among themselves.
(תו"מ ח"ו ע' 124)
Reb Aizel Homiler saw an original message in the possuk, “Zachor eis asher asa lecha Amalek:”
Amalek can attack only a person who is “lecha,” separate from other chassidim. Whoever is united with his fellow chassidim is protected from Amalek.
(לשמע אוזן ע' 213)
