CHOFETZ CHAIM (Hafetz Hayim): LOVING KINDNESS POCKET (P/B) שני לוחות הברית פרקי דרבי אליעזר הגדול הואFor most people, "Just be a nice person," seems like an easily attainable goal. Yet, in his famous work, Ahavas Chessed, the Chofetz Chaim (Chafetz or Hafetz Hayim) distinguishes the gap between simply doing a chessed, an act of kindness and true love of chessed.
