A Mitzvah

Today's Temperature 35 feels, like 25, it’s BRRRR outside.

The Tremont Library hosted a workshop this morning on healthcare and Medicare Part D. There were about 6 or 7 attendees. One particular attendee, Patty, had on a very light-weight jacket, on this very cold day.

At the end of the program, Ms. Burns, another attendee, asked if I knew of any coat giveaways, for Patty.

I had a coat in a bag, which I was, suppose to drop off at a local coat drive.

I went into the office, where that coat has been for almost a year, took it out of the bag, and insisted that Patty take it.

She immediately put the coat on, said thank you, and left.

Jewish people call that a Mitzvah, an act of human kindness.

I’m no saint, but I was glad to be able to help someone in need.
