Kindness is a virtue. The practice of deeds of kindness includes every kind of help: visiting the sick, comforting the mourners, helping the needy and making peace between brothers and sisters. In our story Golda the sheep takes kindness to the extreme when she offers her golden horns to others who make requests of her.  We become more like God when we act lovingly and with kindness.  Ethics of the Fathers says that the world is sustained by three things: the Law, the Temple service, and deeds of lovingkindness.
