Chesed Shel Emes

Chesed shel Emes

בראשית מז ,כט : וְעָשִּיתָ עִּמָדִּי חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת

As Rashi explains that truth defines the type of kindness, which is one performed for the dead (from whom one would not expect repayment). The Baal haTurim observes the word אמת is an acronym for the following: אֳרוֹן מִטָּׂה תַכְׁרִ יכִין (coffin, bier, shrouds).
