Reply To: What qualifies as chesed

There is something decidedly wrong here if
(a) the shver NEEDS to see a beautiful watch back on his wrist, so much so that people are raising money for it
(b) the chussen is more concerned about his inlaws’ reaction than his own injuries.
I think a more appropriate campaign would be to raise money for pre-marriage counselling.

Apushatayid,
“if you do something and you make him feel good, you did a chesed.”
– Really? Any Mekor for that? If I turn on the light on Shabbos for an elderly Jew, and make him feel good, have I done a chesed?
