KINDNESS TO THE POOR


"Gimmel and Dalet, stand for gimol dalim, be kind to the poor.

Why is the leg of the
Gimmel, meaning a kind man,
pulled towards the
Dalet meaning a poor man?

Because it is the custom of the kind to run after the poor.

Why is the leg of the
Dalet stretched back towards the Gimmel?

Because the poor should make himself available to the kind.

Why is the
Dalet's head turned away from the Gimmel?

In order that he can assist him discreetly so the poor should not feel ashamed before him.

From this, we learn how we are to conduct ourselves in regard to helping others.


HOPE THIS POST CAN HELP...
