Itâs customary and proper to bring a gift when invited to someone’s home, as mentioned in the Gemara. The Gemara (Megillah 26a) states, âAbayei said: we learn from here that it is proper etiquette for a person to leave his flask of wine and the hide (of the animal he slaughtered) at the inn where he is staying.â
During a Shabbos visit, a friend didnât bring a gift but enjoyed a candy platter sent by his mother. This act of kindness resonates with the importance of making others happy.
Rav Yitzchok Sheiner emphasized the value of making others happy, citing Nefesh HaChaim and the importance of helping those around us.
Our talents and capabilities are meant to enhance the lives of others, not just for our own benefit. Imagine a world where everyone strives to make others happy and selflessly contribute to society.
Small gestures, like offering candy to brighten someone’s day, can make a significant impact on others. By prioritizing the well-being of those around us, we can create a more compassionate and caring world.
