Reply To: A mitzvah for an aveira? or at someone else’s expense?

The Rabbis daughters: Which facts would you like to know? Yes, the bus was very crowded with a lot of women, and chances are if he would have to stand up, he would end up between two women.

I didn’t bring up this story to judge this bochur. I shared this story because it’s something that I was thinking about and wanted to hear from others what they thought, and what they would do in that situation.

My question is- What comes first? Being careful not to touch / stand between women, or giving up your seat for an elderly person?
