Caring for the underdog, the ostracized, the outcast. This is what I was role modeled by my mom who always showed up for the kid in her class who was struggling at home, always befriended her “eccentric” classmates, and always gave charity, and a hot meal, to the community “crazies”. Her mother, my Bubbe, did it too, welcoming guests at her Shabbos table that we grandkids considered to be out of their minds. Chavie is very similar in her genuine concern for those who have been pushed out of mainstream society, those who don’t feel like they fit in. She always dives beneath the surface, trying to understand their plight and show up for them in friendship and empathy.
