AGAIN, why would a 13-15yr old be picking up a NY POST from the floor ? Generally Yeshiva boys wouldn’t read the NY POST especially from the floor !? Which was the reson for my surprise.
The basis of the story was pretty much along the same lines as smart cookie.
The only people reading “heimeshe” publications are jews. The same way you don’t see a spanish person reading a chinese newspaper, you generally won’t find anyone else besides a jew reading a jewish paper. And if there are pages of a Jewish paper strewn over a city bus people don’t have to be the brightest bulb in the box to realize where it came from.
Hence my reaction, and reason for sending the story in.
Also I must agree with Mazal 77 that I was proud to see a child with this upbringing, and how I wish there were more people in the world like that these days.
And smalltown, Obviously it’s a kiddush hashem that he cleaned the bus, if it was a USA today or NY POST for that matter,the purpose of the letter however was to show that he had the understanding @ a young age to help avoid a chillul hashem. The boy had the daas to realize people will see a jewish paper with jewish ads on the floor and will obviously have negative comments. So that’s why he picked up the paper to avoid a chillul hashem caused by the previous rider.
