The Hebrew Bible is conspicuous by its absence from Benedict’s encyclical. I doubt that any Jewish theological authorities would identify God with love, or predicate love for each man as His essential attribute. Sure thing, God loves the Jewish people to pieces, but His is a tough love that seldom reaches them as individuals. That kind of love is a Christian thing.
