I grew up two doors away from a shul. A Rebbe/teacher of my brother lived one block from the shul in the other direction. Every snow, my brother shoveled straight from our house to his Rebbe’s.
My neighbor snow blows the walk of an elderly lady down the street. And does the whole sidewalk in between (as a favor, not just to pass through)
When we and our neighbors shovel, if the other hasn’t, we do each others walks.
It’s your choice to be a stickler for letter of the law, or to be a mentsch.
