One night after Maariv some neighbors and I passed a young Chasideshe couple stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire. From the way they were dressed it was obvious that they were on the way to a wedding.
Setting our personal views aside, (we may have different views but at the end of the day we all pray to the same person,) we offered to change his tire for him so that he wouldn’t have to walk into the wedding with dirty hands and full of sweat.
While some of us were changing the tire, others were giving him directions to 24 hour tire repair shops in the surrounding neighborhoods while others waited just to make sure they were able to drive off safely.
After the change was done he asked for our names and asked us to take his name so he can repay us if we ever need help in his neighborhood. We all refused saying that we didn’t want him to feel as if he owed us anything.
He and his wife thanked us over and over again, then they got into the car, he rolled down his window and said, “Mi K’amcha Yisroel”, and drove off.
I think I should mention at this time that while some of the biggest Mitzvos are done anonymously, unfortunately the opposite is also true by aveiros.
Please my dear friends, before posting a vicious attack against anyone online, wait a few seconds and think if you would use the same wording if you had to sign your real name.
