Love thy neighbor as thyself – only if he is – your neighbor, i.e., virtuous but not if he is wicked, as it is written, the fear of the Lord is to hate evil (Prov.8:13).
Rabbi Gabriel Benayon of Chabad in Panama was filmed on the New York City subway suddenly removing his shoes from his feet. What happened next moved everyone riding that day.
“When I saw the barefooted homeless man I though why I could buy a new pair of shoes while this man has no pair at all?” the rabbi said.
This is true charity. What an amazing example he set for the other passengers!
Indeed, this righteous rabbi talks the talk and walks the walk.
