Hesed and Tzedakah: From Bible to ModernityWalter Jacob, Walter Homolka Frank & Timme GmbH, 18 juli 2006 - 107 sidor From a Jewish perspective, divine action in this world revolves around two poles: Hesed and Tzedakah. There is one fundamental difference between them: Hesed describes those actions of God that arise not from obligation, but instead are spurred by pure love for humankind, by grace and mercy. Tzedakah by contrast touches on God’s righteous interaction within his covenant, as well as justice observed by man seeking harmony with God's will. Each of the terms applies to both God and man. Hesed and Tzedakah emanate from God, and eventually should transform a person into a Hasid and a Tzaddik. The authors of this volume parse the subtlety of different meanings behind this pair of terms – from Bible to modernity. |

Sida 44 - Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Neither let the mighty man glory in his might, Let not the rich man glory in his riches : But let him that glorieth glory in this, That he understandeth and knoweth me, That I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth : For in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
Sida 75 - ... to do, what will become of him, when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost and with no means of escape.

Sida 38 - ... and the arguments are evenly balanced. The theory of creation is outbalanced by the prophetic tradition of Adam, Noah, and Moses, which is more deserving of credence than speculation founded on analogies. But if, after all, a believer in the Torah finds himself compelled to admit an eternal substance and the existence of many worlds prior to this one, this would not affect his belief in that this world was created at a certain epoch, and that Adam and Noah were the first human beings. 68.

Sida 45 - I delight, says the Lord." He means that it is My purpose that there should come from you "lovingkindness, righteousness, and judgment in the earth" in the way we have explained with regard to the thirteen attributes: namely, that the purpose should be assimilation to them and that this should be our way of life. Thus the end that he sets forth in this verse may be stated as follows: It is clear that the perfection of man...
Sida 16 - Israel; if he has not defiled his neighbor's wife or approached a menstruous woman; if he has not wronged anyone; if he has returned the debtor's pledge to him and has taken nothing by robbery; if he has given bread to the hungry and clothed the naked; if he has not lent at advance interest or exacted accrued interest; if he has abstained from wrongdoing and executed true justice between man and man; if he has followed My laws and kept My rules and acted honestly — he is righteous. Such a man shall...
