A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Love of Israel'
in which he teaches that the world is founded on Israel
"In the beginning God created". The last letters form the acronym "truth" [emet]. Since there is truth between the people of Israel, who do not lie to one another and maintain peace between each other – and since they give charity to the poor, and Teruma [contribution] and tithes to the Cohanim and Levites – the world continues to exist, and the Temple will be rebuilt, since the teacher [Tana] said: On three things the world stands: on judgement, on truth, and on peace." Judgement – since it is written "In the beginning God created", which is judgement; truth, according to the last letters of "In the beginning God created" – truth [emet]. Peace is charity, as it is said "and the work of righteousness shall be peace". "Created" in gematria [im hakollel] equals the charity. Donations and tithes are as charity; this is indicated by the acronym 'truth' [emet] formed by "and ye shall bring your tithes".
