On the other hand
One of the unique features of living in Israel is the overwhelming number of “chesed” organizations which exist to provide assistance in a multitude of areas.
The word “chesed” can be translated as loving-kindness, compassion and goodness. Staffed mainly by volunteers these groups span a wide sector of help to all citizens.
One of these is called “yedidim” literally meaning friends. It is a countrywide network of volunteers which provide assistance to motorists who may be stranded with car problems. They help with jump starting, punctures, oil and petrol, rescuing children in locked cars and simple mechanical problems.
They are available 24/6 via a hotline all at no cost.
Truly, an “only in Israel” phenomenon.
