SF - A Sensitive Story

A Sensitive Story

Rabbi Akiva Eiger, a great Torah sage, invited a poor man to attend his Passover Seder. As soon as the man sat at the table, he accidentally knocked over his cup of wine on the white tablecloth. In an instant, Rabbi Akiva Eiger, shook the leg of the table and "accidentally" knocked over his own cup of wine. His sensitivity and compassion quickly eased the embarrassment of his guest. With a few graceful and reassuring words, Rabbi Akiva Eiger refilled the cups. Then he conducted the Seder with comfort, joy, and friendship. 

Lesson: If a person makes a mistake in your presence, quickly do or say something to soften his embarrassment. 

Visualization: Envision the humiliation of the guest when he spilled the wine at the Seder table. See Rabbi Akiva Eiger feel compassion for him and instantly remedy the situation by knocking over his own cup of wine. Prepare yourself to go into action and mercifully rectify peoples mistakes -- and save others from embarrassment.
