WE FLEW ON A JUMBO-JET WHICH HAD TEN SEATS IN A ROW,
THREE THEN FOUR AND THREE AGAIN.
BEHIND ME IN THE ROW OF FOUR THERE WERE TWO COUPLES FROM HAIFA ISRAEL.
THEY HAD A BOOK SHOP IN HADAR, HAR CARMEL IN HAIFA .
THEIR FAMILY NAMES WERE "DERBAMDIGER",
A VERY FAMOUS NAME BY JEWISH PEOPLE "DERBAMDIGER" THE HOLY BERDICHOVER REBBE'S NAME.
WHEN THEY WERE DISTRIBUTING THE MEALS, THEY HAD 102 KEDASIA MEALS.
AND THEN THEY GAVE KOSHER MEALS FROM THE EL-AL KITCHEN IN HEATROW AIR PORT, WHICH WAS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE FEDERATION.AND THEN THEY GAVE OUT BRITISH AIRWAYS MEALS WHICH WERE NOT KOSHER.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THIS PLANE HAD OVER FOUR HUNDRED PASSENGERS. NOT ALL WERE JEWISH.
I WAS SITING IN THE ROW OF FOUR AND BEHIND IN THE ROW OF FOUR WERE SITTING THE TWO COUPLES DERBARMDIGER.
THEY OF COURSE DID NOT TAKE THE KEDASIA MEAL.
AND THEY ALSO DID NOT WANT THE FEDERATION MEALS.
THEY ASKED FOR THE BRITISH AIRWAYS MEALS WHICH CONTAINED HAM ( PIG ) ! ! !
AS SOON AS I OBSERVED THAT, I TURNED AROUND TO THEM AND TOLD THEM, " I WILL NOT LET YOU EAT PIG."
A CHASSIDISHE MAN SITTING NEXT TO ME SAID," DON'T MAKE A CHILLUL HASHEM".I SAID TO HIM TO LET THEM EAT PIG WAS A CHILLUL HASHEM, TO STOP THEM,
IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW, WAS A KIDDUSH HASHEM.
I ALSO SAID TO HIM;
WE THINK WE HAVE TO BE LIKED BY EVERYONE IS A KIDDUSH HASHEM?MAKING A TOLLERANT AND UNDERSTANDING IMPRESSION AND LETTING THEM EAT PIG ( they have a right to their way in life)
IS A DOWN RIGHT CHILLUL HASHEM.
THE DERBARMDIGER COUPLE SAID TO ME IN YIDDISH; " WHAT CAN YOU DO" ? I SAID TO THEM " YOU WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO".
I GOT UP ON MY SEAT AND STARTED SHOUTING; "PIG THESE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE ABOUT TO EAT PIG".I EXPLAINED TO THE NON-SPEAKING HEBREW IN ENGLISH, AND THEN TO THE HEBREW SPEAKING PEOPLE IN HEBREW; "THERE IS KOSHER AVAILABLE THEY DO NOT HAVE TO EAT TREIF (PIG)".
YOU CAN NOT IMAGINE HOW THE NON ORTHODOX PEOPLE RAN UP TO THEM, HE IS RIGHT THERE IS KOSHER AVAILABLE, EAT KOSHER!
ONE OF THE COUPLES SHOUTED AT ME. "GO INTO THE ARMY" !
I SAID TO HIM; " YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE ARMY, THEY WILL DIE AND YOU WILL SHOUT AT G=D WHY DID THEY DIE, YOU KNOW WHY, BECAUSE YOU EAT PIG AND YOU DO NOT RESPECT G=D'S TORAH, WHY SHOULD G=D RESPECT YOU?
THIS IS CLEARLY WRITTEN IN THE TORAH.
AS SOON AS I SAID THIS THEY REFRAINED FROM EATING THE HAM.
WE HAVE TO LEARN WHAT IS A CHILLUL HASHEM AND WHAT IS A KIDDUSH HASHEM.
