{"product_id":"lkih","title":"Chofetz Chaim: Loving Kindness","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor most people, \"Just be a nice person,\" seems like an easily attainable\ngoal. Yet, in his famous work,\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e Ahavas Chessed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChofetz Chaim\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\ndistinguishes the gap between simply doing a \u003ci\u003echessed\u003c\/i\u003e, an act of kindness \nand true love of \u003ci\u003echessed\u003c\/i\u003e. With the deep insight for which he was known, the\nsage notes that many people regard chessed as an obligation: they would feel\nrelief if the charity collector happens to bypass their door. It's true that\nthey would give if asked, and the action would be deemed a \u003ci\u003echessed\u003c\/i\u003e, yet\ntheir attitude falls far short of the ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the goal of helping every Jew develop a positive mindset toward\n\u003ci\u003echessed\u003c\/i\u003e, the Chofetz Chaim probes its importance in human relationships.\nDemonstrating that \u003ci\u003echessed\u003c\/i\u003e is no less than an emulation of G-dly compassion,\nhe reveals further that it links all Jews and underlies the Jew's\nrelationship with all Creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith classic simplicity, the Chofetz Chaim encourages every Jew to strive\ntoward love of chessed in his or her own life. Loving Kindness makes that\ngoal practical and attainable. Published in conjunction with the Chofetz\nChaim Heritage Foundation, it has the same easy-to-use daily calendar format\nas \u003ci\u003eChofetz Chaim: A Daily Companion\u003c\/i\u003e (on proper speech). Based on the\ninspirational lectures on \u003ci\u003eSefer Ahavas Chessed\u003c\/i\u003e of noted speaker \u003cb\u003eRabbi\nFishel Schachter\u003c\/b\u003e, the book was prepared for publication by \u003cb\u003eChana\nNestlebaum\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ArtScroll Mesorah Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51317733392684,"sku":"9781578197460","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/7191\/3516\/files\/lkih_b8500a59-f163-4db7-9fb5-aaedbfe2e18b.jpg?v=1751893973","url":"https:\/\/maayanjudaica.com\/products\/lkih","provider":"Maayan Judaica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
