Are you serious?? this is what making the news now. I’m sure there is plenty incidents in Boro Park that do not show the same image.
Two good things happened; One, is that this disadvantaged
woman received help and was able to proceed; Two, is that this Bochur showed everyone that he is a caring person.
By us constantly focusing on point #2 we are sending subtle messages to our children that we don’t really care about point #1.
We must start teaching our children to have, true and sincere compassion for our neighbors, Yidden & Non-Yidden.
So wait…..let me get this straight.
While that bochur was helping the women, this yutz who’s sitting in his car, videos it and uploads it instead of getting over there and helping in lifting and balancing the air conditioner on the rickety shopping wagon…..
OH Now I get It…..SIGH!
Why is this worthy of being in the news?? This is how we are/should be raised–to help a person in need. Race, color, religion and ethnicity should make no difference.
1 act of kindness = 4 negative comments, amazing!
p.s. Oooops, make that 5…
At risk of being a hypocrite I comment:
A nice, feel good, complimentary story results in…4 critical, negative comments.
Please can we move towards being a “kinder, gentler” people?
