Torah Lessons (5703)	Chumash: Chukat, Sheini with Rashi. Tehillim: 10-17. Tanya: But inasmuch as (p.325)...the teachings of Kabbalah).(p.329).

The Alter Rebbe writes in his Siddur [1]: It is proper to say before prayer, "I hereby take upon myself to fulfill the mitzva `Love your fellowman as yourself.'"

This means that the precept of Ahavat Yisrael [2] is the entry-gate through which man can pass to stand before G-d to Daven.

By merit of that love the worshipper's prayer is accepted.
