The place for the non Jew to start to read is Leviticus 19:18 -" ואהבת לרעך כמוך"
“You shall love your fellow as yourself” -
Rabbi Akiva said this is the fundamental rule of Torah.
Hillel paraphrased this to "‘What is hateful to you, do not to your neighbour: that is the whole Torah, while the rest is the commentary thereof;.’
(Talmud Shabbath 31a).
Ramban explains that God demands that we want others to have the same degree of success and prosperity that we want for ourselves.
Rabbi Avrahma Herchel of Kopitchinitz explains that God commands us to love even people whom it is hard to love.
The Alter of Slobodka said that just as you love yourself instinctively without looking for reasons, so you should love others, even without reasons.
