The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Meir Simcha Sperling’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
sort of palm would relate a well-known story that happened with the Sadiq of Jerusalem. It's a very powerful story that brings out this point. Rabbi Aryeh Levin Rabbi Aryeh Levin is remembered for his love of every Jew. And he was the rabbi of the of the prisoners under the British mandate in Palestine. I think this is right before the founding of Eretz Israel of the state of Israel. And one time he was attending a Levaya. There was a Levaya that he went to. Somebody a close friend of of his or somebody that he knew. Whatever it was somebody that he knew. Whatever it was and it was by the Levaya and he saw by the Levaya there was a close friend of the person who was nifter left in the middle of the Levaya he left. And he went to a flower shop and he and he and he bought himself a large flower pot. And he couldn't believe his eyes. Rabbi Levin he he said I don't understand is this man's heart made of stone? Like you're in the middle of the Levaya. This is a good friend of yours. You're here it's it's right smack in the middle you're leaving to run to a store to buy a flower pot? Like I just don't understand. This is your kindness to your friend. Like the possuk says.
