Micha Berger wrote an amazing post about Reb Aryeh Levin on his blog, Aspaqlaria. It’s worth the visit and is worth printing out.
Here’s a passage that I loved:
Rav Aryeh Levin’s “job” was as a mashgiach at a children’s school, Etz Chaim. That meant not only his formal duties. It meant sharing his food with the boys who couldn’t afford regular lunches. It meant bringing food for his own home for the boys who weren’t eating lunch regularly because they simply didn’t like the fare the school could afford to serve.
There’s also three other posts about Reb Aryeh here.
With all the coverage the crappy frum news gets, we sometimes forget there are realy tzadikim out there quietly makes our world better.
So true. “A Tzaddik in our Time” is one of my all time favorite books.
The gadlus is that just thinking a little about how you can help some can make ALL the difference.
