Love and interpersonal relations were central to Eastern European
Hasidism. According to one Hasidic teacher, Reb Arele Roth,
individuals are encouraged to associate with others who can help
"wake" them up spiritually. The teachings of R. Avraham Kalisker,
who wrote about “cleaving to our fellows” when we are in need of
personal inspiration, will also be discussed.
