Chesed. It\u2019s in your hands. (And in your smile. And mouth. And feet. And in countless other ways.) From the Talmud to the Rambam to the Chofetz Chaim \u2013 and many other Torah sources \u2013 we learn how to deal with even the most challenging and turbulent times: la\u2019asok b\u2019Torah v\u2019chessed. To busy ourselves with Torah learning and performing acts of chessed, kindness, to others.
\nOf course, we all try to be \u201cnice\u201d to others, but to fill our days and nights with chessed? Many of us imagine that to be the task of the great men and women who head up the organizations, create the gemachs, raise the millions to feed and clothe the impoverished. But while that is certainly vital, Living Chessed shows us how we \u201cordinary\u201d people can also be \u201cgedolim in chessed\u201d\u2014 just by grabbing the countless opportunities to help our fellow Jews.
\nIn Living Chessed, Rabbi Avrohom Asher Makovsky shares with us many Torah sources that talk about chessed, inspirational insights and guidance and, above all, stories of how chessed \u2013 even something as small as a compliment, a smile, or a hug \u2013 can transform the lives of both the one giving and the one receiving the chessed. In brief, readable chapters, we will discover the best segulah of all \u2013 not hurting someone\u2019s feelings. We will read about how the Tzemach Tzedek \u201copened\u201d the gates of heaven \u2013 by racing home to help another Jew in business. How a man fulfilled his dream of having children, by opening a free-loan gemach. We will enjoy \u2013 and learn from! — story after story of people who took the opportunity to help someone, often with something as simple as a hug, a compliment, or even just a smile.
\nLiving Chessed will show us how we can, indeed, \u201clive chessed\u201d throughout our days, enriching the lives of others. And enriching our own lives as well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
