Machshavot HaLev - Yeshivat Lev HaTorah

215
בלה תובשחמ
The story is told of the Beis Haleivi that once a woman asked if it was permissible
to be fulfill the obligation of the four cups of wine on Pesach with milk. The Rav
answered no and gave her a significant amount of money. When asked why he
gave so much money he explained that from her question it was clear that not
only does she lack wine for Pesach, but if she is asking about milk, clearly she
lacks meat for the yom tov meal as well. This is the perspective of a man of chesed;
it’s not just about the request, it is a responsibility to fulfill a need.
