The Importance of Kindness \ Michah the Prophet D'var Torah: Avraham Avinu revealed to mankind the beauty of k indness. In truth, 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." What's more, the verse inspires us "to love kindness." Meaning, to perform our acts of kindness with love, compassion, and care. 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 loving kindness, care, and compassion for his family, friends, and all of HaShem's creations. (Based on the teachings of the Chofetz Chaim)
The Salant Foundation is currently looking for a Shul or community to partner with us in sharing the merit of the unique and important Salant Kollel. There are practical and easy ways (such as adoptakollel.org) to create a special mutual relationship between the Kollel and a Shul or community. If you think your Shul or community or workplace might want to participate in supporting the Salant Kollel, please contact Rabbi Zvi Miller at salantorg@gmail.com, and we will discuss how to implement your idea. Thank you! |
