Rav
Pam would say that to do Chesed to another person, you
can give him Tzedakah that is Chesed or you can give him a job. That is
a greater Chesed. When you give him a job and he is able to earn his
keep himself. We all understand that Asakta Bo is a greater Mitzvah.
Says
Rav Pam, the Ribbono Shel Olam works the same way. If a person is not
deserving Hashem could give him Chesed. Hashem could give him something
more than what he deserves. However,
HKB”H treats human beings in the best way. What HKB”H does is he gives a
person an opportunities to do Mitzvos. When a person is lacking in the
Yemei Hadin HKB”H puts in his way an opportunity, perhaps an Aveida (a
lost object) that he could pick up and could
return. Perhaps he would walk in the street and see a woman and her
children having a very hard time pushing a carriage and schlepping her
bundles and you can help that person. HKB”H puts in the persons way
opportunities to sort of have a job to keep. And
that he explained, was the very special Derech of HKB”H as it says in
the Parsha 13:18 (וְנָתַן-לְךָ רַחֲמִים וְרִחַמְךָ).
HKB”H
gives you Rachamim and HKB”H gives you opportunities and then he has
Rachmanus on you. With this Rav Pam explained Hashem’s Midda of V’rav
Chesed V’emes. Emes means the Ikkur Din. Chesed is more. What is the
V’rav Chesed V’emes? Hashem’s Chesed is that he
gives you opportunities. B’emes, then Hashem can do the Din Emes and
you will have the Zechusim to be Soveil the Din. How beautiful.
This
fits so nicely with something that I mentioned a year ago on Avinu
Malkeinu Kasveinu B’sefer Zechuyos (write us in the book of merits).
Very very mysterious. What is the book of
merits?
Rav
Elyashiv said and I have seen this in other places that B’sefer
Zechuyos (write us in the book of merits) in the things we do we should
have the opportunity to have Zechusim, to
have Zechuyos. If we go places and we have the opportunity to do
Zechuyos then we will be Zoche to Din, the Ikkur Hadin.
