There is a Mitzva ????? ???? ????.

The love of all is a mitzva from the Torah. Chazal state that this mitzva encompasses the entire Torah. Ther reason behind this is that through this mitzvam one separates themself from inproper middos like anger and jealocy.

A ger has an added mitzva, therefore we see that by a ger there are 2 positive commandments.

Therefore, one needs to train their heart to love every Jew. When one fails to do so, the fail to fulfill this positive commandment AND if this leads to hatred, then they also violate the negative commandment of Hating a Jew. WHICH IS ONE OF THE WORST AVEIROS IN THE TORAH.

As Chazal say in pirkei Avos: Hatred towards other Jews removes one from the world.
