0698 - We Don't Give Kavod on the Road - Especially During Rain - R' Shmuel Levitin

00:01 My friend Reb Sholom Ber Levitan, who is the grandson of Reb Shmuel Levitan and is now the, he's the Shliach Roshi in the state of Washington, etc. So he told me that he once saw that his grandfather, Shmuel Levitan, was going in the street walking and it rained, and he saw the Rebbe coming. So he went over to the door and held the door open for the Rebbe. And the Rebbe stopped, and the Rebbe said to him, "Ein mechabdin bedrachim uvrats b'shas reg-- s'get ha'regin." You don't give covet on the roads. There's a Gemara that certain things you don't give covet because it's a mat-- dangerous mat-- whatever it is, you don't give covet. So one of the things is, "Ein mechabdin bedrachim." When it comes on the roads, who should go first? You don't give covet, and s-especially when it's raining. And bemele it takes time that he was standing there in the rain because he was holding the door open for the Rebbe. So he said, "Uvrats b'shas reg-- s'get ha'regin."
