Shalom. We are continuing with Tom Devor. We're in chapter 11 learning about the new mida, a new trait of Hashem, his character trait of mercy called Abraham, kindness to Abraham. In the previous mida called a medlyov, we learned that Hashem treats treats even a regular Jew with a lot of love, but specifically with the trait called emit, meaning truth. And we explained that it means strict justice. We have a rule that the way a person treats others or treats life in general, that's how he gets treated by Hashem. So when a Jew treated by Hashem. So when a Jew treats others with strict justice by following the letter of the law and saying he owes me and therefore I'm going to demand it. I am obligated in this and therefore I will perform it and I'm not obligated in this and therefore I will not do it. I will only do the minimum. I'm not going to do more but at the same time I'm not going to do less than the minimum. I will fulfill everything 100%. So then Hashem says I everything 100%. So then Hashem says I will treat you the same way. I will do to you only what you deserve only what I have to do for you. And this is not a recommended um behavior for a Jew towards Hashem or towards other individuals. And that is because when we have a rule that when Hashem lets us know what he likes, what he wants us to do, that is just a um a hint
