Bob’s 2am Lesson - R. Don Jarashow - TorahAnytime.com

about Bob, this non-Jew that stopped. You know what Bob told us when we were stuck and this bolt wasn't coming out? Stubborn bolt. So Bob was driving on his way and he had other things to do probably at 1:30 in the morning and he stopped and he was busy with us helping us out for a good hour. And after he saw that he wasn't going to be successful, my brother-in-law and I, my brother was there at the time, he said, "Bob, can I just can we ask you like what made you stop? We obviously look very different. You see, we have our seat seat, we have our kipot, we're driving a Honda Odyssey that's also part of the uniform. What made you stop and not just stop, but give us an hour of your time? And not just that, but you went home. went home twice for us. And he said words that I'm just getting the chills thinking about. He said, "Are we not here for each other? This is a guy that lives in the middle of nowhere. Southampton, New Jersey. He has it right. Omar, why did it happen? Why do the students of why do they perish? A guy, a non-Jew from Southampton, New Jersey, has it right? He understands. Are we not here one for another? And so many times, how many times we have it wrong? When there's an opportunity, when there's a person that needs something and a little extra, they need a ride, they need some help, they need a smile. Bob saw Jews with sit and kipot on the side of the road and he saw the call to action. He saw Bob was needed as we're going and counting these days. And we don't want to just count the days. We don't want to just make them count. This is another message that reminds us always be thinking are we not here for others.
