difference that R' Grossman makes between bein adam l'havero and<BR>bein adam
laMakom seems valid, if we modify it a bit. I seem to recall<BR>Rabbi Angel
citing/quoting(?) Rabbi Uziel to the effect that ***when it<BR>is bein adam
l'havero, and ruling in one's favor will be ruling in the<BR>other's
detriment***, then in that case, the law must cut through the<BR>mountain, and
one may not rule in favor of the poor. However, in a<BR>case where there is only
one party, and ruling by mercy/love will not<BR>cause a loss to anyone else,
then truth may be somewhat modified in<BR>favor of peace.<BR><BR>The question
remains, however, how Rabbi Uziel could exclude love and<BR>mercy and peace from
consideration in paying child support for a child<BR>born out of wedlock, but
utilize these notions regarding a child born<BR>to an intermarriage of a Jewish
father and non-Jewish mother. Whatever<BR>factors exist to include or exclude
considerations of hesed and<BR>ahavah, would seem to apply equally to
both.<<<BR><BR><BR>Michael Makovi</FONT></DIV><FONT

This is pure speculation, but maybe if you pay child support to a child born out
of wedlock, you are taking away money you really owe to your other children who
are born to you and your lawful wife, whereas if your only
marriage is an illicit one, to a non-Jewish woman -- then giving money to those
children will not take anything away from any other children you have, since you
don't have any others.</DIV>
