In Heaven, there is a chamber where there are malachim appointed to write down the deeds of chesed that people perform in this world. Whenever the prosecuting malachim speak against the Jewish nation, the “chesed” malachim present the deeds of kindness that Yidden do, and Hashem has compassion on the Jewish nation. This is because Hashem desires chesed. Therefore, even if they are guilty and deserve punishment if they do kindness with each other, Hashem has compassion on them. ~ Tomer Devorah (1:6)
