it's easy to stay close to others when things are going well. We enjoy happy times together, wonderful companionship, parties, beautiful days.. But when that person falls into need, perhaps psychologically, financially, or socially, most so called friends disappear. It's painful to accompany the person through distress, to watch their fall or to not join in with others who might be now finding fault with them. This mitzvah brings loyalty, courage, and the true experience of what it means to be a friend. It also shows how to live, truly, without seeking a personal reward. The power brought into the world by this mitzvah is beyond imagination.. The great art of standing by another, accompanying them is the source of never ending wisdom and strength.
