צְדָקָה תְרוֹמֵם גּוֹי וְחֶסֶד לְאֻמִּים חַטָּאת: This morning (6/5/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk about CHESED! Why is this such a big deal? Because FUN FACT: the term "tzedakah," "tzedek," and "tzadik" appear in Mishlei a total of 93 times, whereas the terms "chesed" and "chasid" appear only 12. In other words, it's not a typical Mishlei topic. With that at the back of our minds, we began analyzing today's pasuk, came up with some nice approaches, reviewed the Rambam's definitions of chesed and tzedakah, and concluding by reading a mystifying Rabbeinu Yonah. We'll begin tomorrow (בג"ה) with that Rabbeinu Yonah, followed by more meforshim. https://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/
