i can’t understand why a stranger would want to care?
I care because you are a person. Not Jew, not male, not female, not contemporary of mine, just stam a person. Why would a stranger stop in the street to see if he can help someone who has fallen? Because it is the right thing to do. Morevover, we Jews have something extra built into our DNA, the chessed shel Avraham, the first Jew. It cannot be that his direct descendents who accepted the Torah did not inherit from him a part of him that tell us to do the right and compassionate thing. Proportionately, considering our population number, Jews are the most chessed-filled people in history. More tzedaka orgamizations both Jewish and secular have been started and are run by Jews. That is no accident. There is no question there are caring and good non-Jews in the world, but on balance, I think we Jews are pretty amazing in that department.
