I grew up “out of town” and moved to Brooklyn as a bachur. I was always very frusterated by the lack of warmth. Out of town including “out of town”-Jerusalem, everyone says good shabbos, even in the frumest communities (maybe not men to women, but to each other is very common). Now in the summer in Boro Park, I would walk in the streets and the other person would purposely look down and not make eye contact with me so he doesn’t have to say Good Shabbos. How cold can you be? It is amazing to me that people dont have manors or social skills. We are brothers, treat each other like brothers, how will moshiach come if we dont even want to look at each other?
Please, next shabbos look someone in the eye and wish them GOOD SHABBOS!
