I feel this video and message captures beautifully a unique aspect about Judaism. Thank you, Baruch. While I was learning Hebrew from the Hayesod, a book containing rich stories, ancient and modern, I was also learning some of the values contained within Judaism.
One of those stories was titled, The Righteous Man and the Guest. The righteous man invites a poor guest for Shabbat. The guest was old, his hands shook and he spilled red wine all over the white tablecloth. He was terribly embarrassed. The righteous man was quick to intervene and pull the attention to a "faulty leg" on the table, thus sparing the guest any embarrassment. What I liked best about learning Hebrew this way were the values embedded within the Hebrew language lessons. I now see where those ethics were derived.
