I Love Chessed

Is it fair for Eliezer to make his sign a young girl who pours water into his mouth and then hauls water for ten thirsty camels? And why does the Torah tell the whole scene twice? The line between being kind and being a pushover, the friar everyone leans on, gets blurry fast.In a cheder in Eretz Yisrael, the boy the whole class sends on errands keeps a small notebook in his pocket, until a visitor from New York walks in with an unusual offer. Set beside the way Avraham fed his guests, it asks what chessed feels like from the inside.
