We had an incredible story in Israel. My wife and I had just arrived as newlyweds in Israel last year. We were setting up our apartment, going shopping etc. We went to the local supermarket to load up on groceries – we had 2 full shopping carts. We get to the check out, they put everything through. 1700 shekel or so! I pull out my US card to pay, they swipe it, and……declined! So they tried again, while I was trying to call the bank from my phone and just panicking. After a minute, a guy checking out in the next lane – who I had never met before in my life – sees what’s going on comes over. Without even blinking he says “Here, just use my card. I’ll give you my bank details so you can deposit money into my account when you get organised.”
My wife and I were totally blown away. Mi K’amcho Yisroel.
