Judaism, Loving Your Enemies, & Beshalakh

We've all been a part of a culture that teaches that Christianity is all about love, and Judaism is about stringency of the law.

Yuck! Love is so much nicer, right?

But it's simply not true! In fact, a central value of Judaism is love, and the teaching that we should love our enemies comes from Judaism, not Christianity!

But that's a complicated question. Should we love our enemies, in fact? And how do we do that, even if we wanted to?
