Can There Be Torah Without Kindness ? \ Michah the Prophet
D'var Torah: Kindness of deed and thought is much more than a good habit. Kindness is the essence of Torah and a Divine requirement, as the prophet expressed (Michah 6), "HaShem has told you, O man, what is good and what He requires of you: only to act with justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with HaShem." Torah and kindness complement each other like a diamond and its gold setting. In this light, the true fulfillment of Torah study is contingent upon attaining a kind-hearted disposition and frequent acts of kindness.
Moral:A person who integrates kindness both into his heart, as well as, his actions is a living example of Torah.
Application: Envision the joyous countenance of a tzadik whose heart is filled with Torah wisdom and loving-kindness. See him flow with acts of kindness, care, and love for all of his family and friends. (Based on the teachings of the Chofetz Chaim) |
