An air conditioning unit fell of a cart being pushed by an elderly Chinese woman in Brooklyn, NY. Immediately, a chassidishe bochur approached and helped the woman place the unit back on her cart so she could continue on her way.

Wow amazing!
who would have thought
This is truly breaking news. I cant believe this isn’t the leading story on CNN
Why is this news?
What’s the big Chiddush, there is a Mitzvah of Ozov Tazov, and also of Baal Tisalem. These are Mitzvohs Sh’Bein Odom Lachaveiro and apply equally to Jews and to our neighbors who happen to be Non-Yidden. The same thing is when we find an Aveido of a Non-Yid.
Right, when it comes to compassion and caring from one Human to another, we don’t differentiate between Yidden and decent Non-Yidden. We even pray for Non-Yidden who aren’t well R”L.
yes we do it. But show, bring reference, that ‘uzov tazov’ , ‘lotisalem’ includes…. When the torah says ‘rayacha…’ its rayacha
The parents have nachas!
It is a worthy deed but, it should be so commonplace so as not to make this a news item.
it is commonplace. Not every move of a human being makes it to the news
Kol hakavod. I am very proud of this bochur
@Sol. Either you are writing tongue in cheek or you are truly an am haaretz. “Meshum eiva” does not mean that you should so completely misrepresent what the Torah really says.
“Eiva” means putting up a show. We don’t put up shows, we are authentic and a kind and caring people full of sincere compassion for All decent Human Beings alike.
well, there are numerous laws in Talmud about putting up this show aka because of eiva
why does everyone get excited when someone does the menshlich thing?
If i throw a tissue in the garbage, will matzav post it as a kiddush hashem?
who is ‘everyone’?. somebody video-ed it. declared it a ‘massive’ Kiddush hashem and matzav posted it. seems the only one getting excited is you
The lady’s cart is not meant to bear the weight of an air conditioner. I wouldn’t be surprised if it fell down again a few minutes later.
LIghten up! Why criticize Matzav for posting this? It’s nice to see and hear good things, even if they are (or should be) commonplace. Besides, it’s another reminder that there is an eye that sees and an ear that hears and a camera that records it all, so maybe it will encourage others to do similar acts of mentschlichkeit when otherwise they might have ignored opportunities.
why is it a ‘massive’….?
slow news day
If Matzav would have posted a video of him ignoring her no one would be asking ” why is this News?”
Beautiful. Thanks for posting
It is very commonplace, despite what our enemies say.
If the shoe would’ve on the other foot, would the bochur have been helped?
just asking
@Yona. I don’t disagree. I believe and know that Yidden are truly inherently kind and compassionate to all. However the fact remains that what Sol wrote is a misrepresentation of the Mitzvos he mentioned. It is very wrong to do that. I’d rather not go more into it than that.
