yesterday i was on the b9 bus and a muslim woman wearing a hijib was standing. a young teenage yeshiva bachur was sitting in the aisle seat of a two seater seat. a middle-aged yeshivish man called out to the boy and said to move over so the muslim woman could sit. at first the muslim woman refused the gesture. upon much coaxing from the middle-aged yeshivish man, the youngster moved over and the muslim woman sat down next to him.
ive NEVER seen anything like this happen before.
Whats so special about this? weirder happens.
ReplyDeleteto me it was like a twilight zone episode.
ReplyDeletei dont usually hear anyone ask someone to move over and so someone else can sit down on a bus which would be shocking enough. to see this with a multi-cultural twist just floored me.
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean Hijab, not Hajib.
ReplyDeletethanks baal habos. i didnt realize that the muslim women's headscarf is a hijib not a hajib. i corrected the spelling.
ReplyDeleteHappens sometimes. Not often enough though.
