  |  Compassion in Action

- When Moses was pasturing his father-in-law's flocks, a lamb wandered off.  Moses pursued it to a place called Chasus (Mercy).  There, he found the lamb drinking from a stream. At this, he said "I didn't know you were so thirsty!  You must be very tired from your journey!"  So Moses lifted the lamb and carried it back to the flock.  G-d said to Moses, "Since you treat even little sheep with compassion, you are worthy to shepherd the children of Israel!"
 - If 999 angels give a bad account of a person, and only one angel gives a good account, G-d will forgive the person because of the good account!
 - G-d used the trait of judgement to create the world, and the trait of mercy to help keep it in existence.
