SIDRA CHAYE SARAH KINDNESS AND SINCERITY
This week*s Sidra contains the account of the journey of Eliezer, Abraham's servant, to Nahor, to find a wife for Isaac. Eliezer chose Rebecca and asked her parentsVconsent to take her back to Canaan to become Isaac*s wife. He said to them: "And now, if you will deal kindly and truly with my master," etc^
Elietzer's words seem rather puzzling. He was asking Rebecca's parents to show kindness to Abraham by let-Xing, theirx :daughter go with him. If they, would perform' this act of kindness, wouldn't this in itself be the best indication that they were "dealing truly"? Why, then, did Eliezer ask them to "deal kindly.and truly*'! If one acts kindly and charitably towards his fellow, do not his actions prove the truth and sincerity of his kindness?
The answer to this question is, unfortunately — "No!" There is a wide gap between "C/f^SS^D" (kindness) and "EMESS" (truxh, i.e., sincerity).
This will become clearer in the light of the following freely^translated excerpts from the writings of some of the Rabbis of Lubavitch:
The great Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of Chabad Chqssidism, taught his followers to critically examine their every action and see that it be SINCERE.
The previous Lubavitcher Rebbe of sainted memory, taught: "Some may think that true service of G-d involves

The Cohens were born in Meliila, now a Spanish enclave on the Moroccan coast. Born on Dec. 8, 1909, Mr. Cohen was educated by his father, a rabbi in the city. Esther, the former.Ruas Sultan, was borii oh May"28, 1912.
On June 9,1946, the couple were married in Meliila.
While living in Spanish Morocco, Mr. Cohen worked in construction! When he and his wife arrived in Vancouver in April 1961, he worked with his brother-in-law Isaac in a grocery business.
Mr. Cohen retired in 1975. During his retirement, he was chetofHamitreyah restaurant and Boba Becky's Deli.

Cohen led daily services at his synagogue. His interests also included cooking and handicrafts.
"Apart from leading JServi-ces, Mr. Cohen was the first person to arrive, to unlock the doors and switch on the lights," said Rabbi D. Bassous, spiritual leader of Beth Hamidrash. "It was his regularity which kept our Minyan alive."
TheCohensaresurvived by son and daughter-in-law Leon and Faye,, son Saadia, and daughter and son-in-law Maja and Martin Mindell, all of Vancouver; and five grandchildren: Andrea and Michelle Mindell, and Tamara, Debora and Esther Cohen. Mr. Cohen is survived by sisters Esther Cohen and Anita Chouraqui of Marseilles, France.
Funeral services and interment for Mr. and Mrs. Cohen were held Oct^l6 and 24, respectively, at Schara Tzedeck cemetery. Rabbi D. Bassous officiated at both. Chevra Kadisha was incharge of arrangements.
In accordance with S^phar-dic custom, the dedication of headstones in memory of^the Cohens will take place at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 11 at S-T. cemetery; Rabbi Bassous will officiate. Before the dedication, special services will be held at 9 a.m. in Beth Haniid-rash, followed by breakfast.
In lieu of flowers the family has requested that charitable donations be made to the Beth Hdfntdi?aSh-syhSigo^^;
world-shaking action. In reality, however, EVERY act and ANY deed is of utmost value and significance—provided it is performed with SINCERITY."
For example, the simple act of uttering a 'Brocho' (blessing), but taking its meaning to heart, the words of prayer said as they ought to be said t~ with genuine feeling and emotion and with the awareness that one is standing before The Almighty; studying a verse of Chumash (Torah) with the realization that it is the word of G-d: one verse of rhillim (Psalms); or the SINCERE display of love and ajfeciion towards one's fellow-man. (Of course, in order to attain this "simple" trait of sincerity enormous effort and ^abundant Torah-study is called fori)
In our own era a great wall has been erected between "CHESSED" (kindness) and "EMMES" (sincerity), "CHESSED" abounds, for the Jew of today is renowned for his good-heartedness and generosity.
But "EMMES" is hard to : find. There are many persons who are known for their acts of **CHESSEb". But when it comes to "EMMES", when they are asked to show "CHESSED" in circumstances in which there is no opportunity for publicity, their response is often cooler.
So wide is the gap betv/een "Kindness" and "Truth" that the great Torah commentator Rashi, maintains that sincere kindness is only to be found in such acts asare exemplified by honoring the dead! For, since the recipient will never be able to repay him, he cannot be suspected of having any ulterior motive for his kindness.
Nowadays, however, even in Rashi's classic case of "Chessed Shel Emess" (sincere kindness) it is often difficult to know whether some are present to "honor the dead" or . . to please the living.
