OneOfMany -“It’s not a matter of quid pro quo.”
What does this mean for the non-lawyers here?
“According to the Jewish concept of chesed, the chesed-doer is NOT supposed to treat the recipient like a ‘beggar.'”
Even if the Torah proscribed to the belief of “beggars can’t be choosey”, it still would be against the Torah for them to come late. Why? Because it’s Ossur to be dishonest -if you say you will be somewhere at a certain time -you must be there, give or take a few, barring some emergency (Oiness)!
