Gregaaron — correctly you say, “Chessed, like all other things, needs to be within the framework of Halacha.” A framework leaves space for freedom up to boundaries on all sides. Halacha usually does the same. My dispute, and it’s a big one, is not with halacha but with people who repudiate the freedom and see only non-negotiable boundaries — who narrow the derekh so severely that one can hardly avoid going off.
