Skin Deep Hate: A Life-Changing Story - Much Watch!

[Music] one day I got a phone call from a young man who was interested in a black lacquer bedroom set I had to advertise and at the same time he said he had a limited budget of $700 I said sure come in and I'll be glad to work with you shortly after that phone call a young guy walked in and on both arms he had most gruesome tattoos I've ever SE I was really in shock to see such a thing but he identified himself that i' spoke to somebody about a black Locker bedroom set and so I proceeded for about the next hour to walk around the store we picked out merchandise my father seeing all his hateful tattoos kept ignoring them and really went out of his way to assist and make sure he stayed under his budget we came to the sales counter and as he was watching me right up the receipt he noticed that I was obviously giving him a discount the original ticket came to over $900 I discounted it down to the $700 we agreed on it was uh you know amazement to this customer how my father went out of his way to really pay attention to his budget and and keep him under that and still give him amazing Service as if he was spending you know thousands he paid me and then we proceeded to load his truck it was a hot summer day we both worked up a little bit of a sweat my father offered him a Coke and said hey sit down cool off a little bit and they started chatting a little bit and and having a conversation of course I I couldn't hold my curiosity longer and I said to him I can't help I notice your tattoos I go you really don't believe in that stuff do you he goes well yes I do he proceeded to tell me he and his cohorts have done a lot of bad things to people of color and to Jewish people and that Jews are liars and thieves and you know bad people and about that time I decided to take off my cap and I shared with him well I'm Jewish he says well you're not a real Jew I said yeah I'm a real Jew I live as a Jew and he said but you were so nice to me and he said you gave me a discount and I said well the Torah teaches us that's that's how we treat people and I said even though that I saw your tattoos and and I was like in shock but inside I I knew I knew that I had to treat you properly so I did but I want you to know that nothing's good is going to happen with this you're either going to be shot and killed or you're going to be set to prison I don't see anything happy coming from the behavior that you're being part of well he got up and he left and I figured I'd never see him again and I just hoped and prayed that he would have listened to my words and that he would get away from the life he was [Music] living about a year later the same man came in only this time he was wearing a a long sleeve shirt and he was dressed in professional looking right away he says to my dad hey you know do you recognize me and my dad said well of course I I recognize you you're a face I'm I'm never going to forget you know after our meeting last year and he said well I came in today to give you an apology I said why are you giving me an apology he says I now realize how repulsive my tattoos are I will always keep them covered unless I can have them removed someday he gave me a hug and he was very emotional and he he told me that that say had changed his life a scenario where this person through just a a good conversation with my dad and showing him true yid a true Jew behaves was able to really change his mind about how he thinks about Jews and how he takes his own life into consideration as I reflect I realize that had I not been able to to put my personal feelings aside and realize that even though he didn't know I was a Jew but as a Jew we're taught we have to behave a certain way live a certain way I'm I'm very thankful that ronom gave me the strength and the ability to do that I had no idea that it would change his life with hashem's blessings it ended up being a happy ending [Music]
