אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃Happy is he who is thoughtful of the wretched; in bad times may the LORD keep him from harm.
In my audio I consider just one verse in the chapter, and how it relates to one of the great luminaries who left the world this week, Rav Dovid Feinstein: אַ֭שְׁרֵי מַשְׂכִּ֣יל אֶל־דָּ֑ל בְּי֥וֹם רָ֝עָ֗ה יְֽמַלְּטֵ֥הוּ יְהוָֽה׃Happy is he who is thoughtful of the wretched; in bad times may the LORD keep him from harm.And if you don't have time to listen to the audio, then at least take on board this beautiful midrash:אומר אשרי משכיל אל דל (תהלים מא ב), נותן לדל לא נאמר, אלא משכיל היאך ליתן לו שלא לביישו.The verse does not say, happy is one who gives to the poor, but rather happy is one who considers the poor. Who considers how to give in a way that does not embarrass.
