Good morning, friends! Today, we dive into the 20th day of Menachem Av, where we explore the incredible benevolence that God poured into creation. Picture this: the universe as a grand tapestry woven with threads of kindness. That’s right! God made the world out of pure, unadulterated kindness—Olam chesed Gibbonneh.

Now, imagine being placed in the Garden of Eden, tasked not just to dwell but to work and guard it. Our sages teach that this is a call to action—our actions, especially acts of charity and kindness, awaken divine energy from above. Think of it like a heavenly faucet; when we turn it with our good deeds, blessings flow down like rain.

Even scholars, those steeped in Torah, can't shy away from the call of kindness. They need to engage in acts of charity, or else their wisdom lacks vitality! It’s a dance between intellect and action, where our kindness ignites the flow of divine wisdom and energy into our world.

So, let’s roll up our sleeves, spread kindness, and become conduits of divine benevolence today!
