Today, Rabbi Menachem Aron travelled 100 kilometres out of Melbourne to visit an elderly Jewish community member in hospital.
What wasn't expected was the incredible welcome from several local residents who have quietly been making a difference for years.
It was a privilege to spend time with James, Amanda and Kelvin, whose kindness and dedication have been a lifeline to this member in hospital, who is someone in need of company. Their support has been steady, practical and heartfelt over many years.
Although not related in any way, it was so heart-warming to see their genuine care and support for another person.
A heartfelt thank you to James, Amanda, Kelvin, and others that have stepped up. Your compassion has made an enormous difference, and we are deeply grateful for everything you continue to do.
There are some very decent people in this country!
