Our Rabbis taught: Gemilut Chesed (loving-kindness) is greater than charity in three ways. Charity is done with one's money, while loving-kindness may be done with one's money or with one's person [e.g., spending time with a sick person]. Charity is given only to the poor, while loving-kindness may be given both to the poor and to the rich [e.g., consoling one who is in mourning or depressed.] Charity is given only to the living, while loving-kindness may be shown to both the living and the dead [e.g., by arranging a proper burial for a person who died indigent].
