Anyway they went on a family drive up to Teveria. When they got there one of the children really needed the bathroom. So this fellow found a restaurant and the father went in with his son and asked the maidredee if they could use the bathroom which she happily agreed to. As they were coming out of the bathroom the owner of the restaurant spotted them and starts screaming at them, why do you come take advantage of my bathrooms, I pay rent and electricity! What a chutzpah! The man says-what do you mean? We came to eat in your restaurant. (he had gone to a restaurant that he was sure had a good hashgacha for maris ayin) So the owner realizes that he screamed at a customer and he's thoroughly embarrassed. The man turns to his son "go to the car and tell the family that we're eating lunch here. The son goes out to the car with the astounding news and the wife and 8 startled children troop into the restaurant to see first hand what could possibly have happened to their father.
They sit down and the waiter brings menus, the man almost has a heart attack when he sees the prices but he smiles amiably and the family orders. When they are almost finished their meal the waiter starts bringing over the most magnificent desserts the man tells them, "Excuse me! There must be some mistake we didn't order dessert." The waiter continues serving the deserts and says "I just work here, see the maitredee. " The man seeks out the maitredee and finds her crying by the maitredees desk. Excuse me miss I didn’t order the desserts and so she said "No,you don’t understand, I saw the boss yell at you and I understood that you didn't want me to be screamed at so you made up that you were eating here. I know you only did it so I wouldn't get hurt, no one ever did something like that for me in my entire life. Believe me the desserts are on the house but when the family was ready to leave and they brought them the bill the man looks at the total and sees that the total is crossed out and written next to it are the words in this restaurant "we don’t charge angels".
Today be an angel. Make sure you don’t cause anyone to get hurt.

Giving is more than an act of generosity—it is an essential part of human dignity that belongs to everyone, rich and poor alike. The ultimate goal of help is to empower others to stand on their own.

Ein Aya Various Universal Stages of the Geula Process
Rav Kook examines the various stages of redemption, explaining how (in addition to the obvious oft-mentioned stages of ingathering the exiles, reviving the Hebrew language, army, state etc.) the messianic dream of world prosperity, the State of Israel and world unity can and are realistically and logically gradually coming true.
Kuzari -Rabbi Ari Shvat Kuzari class 8- "Answering Questions on the Kuzari's Proof from Mass Revelation
How do we know that the "claim" of mass revelation to 2,000,000 witnesses at Mt. Sinai is really true? This important class answers all of the questions skeptics ask about this claim of the Kuzari.
Ein Aya Armies Still Necessary for Balance & the War Against Wars
Rav Kook explains why the world was originally divided into the various seemingly contradicting ideologies and cultures, in order to develop each one respectively. Swords or armies symbolize how each respective ideology defends themselves, as well as deters their opposing ideologies and cultures. On the other hand, the messianic era will be one of peace, and Rav Kook explains the transition to that stage, which mankind is already undergoing.
