Montreal Lubavitchers Rescue Non-Jewish Baby
In an extraordinary story of Kiddush Hashem, a non-Jewish woman in Montreal whose baby got locked in her car praised the Jewish community, calling the woman who helped her a “messenger from G-d.”
On Monday afternoon, Chana, a woman from the Lubavitch community, parked outside Decarie square and on her way in heard another woman say “oh my G-d.” Turning around, she encountered a non-Jewish woman who was in hysterics, her 7-year-old daughter next to her.
“She asked to borrow my phone,” said Chana, “but then she didn’t know who to call.”
The woman had mistakenly locked her baby in her car, and didn’t have a spare key. When the baby started crying the woman panicked. Chana calmed her down, and told her to stand next to the window and soothe the baby. Miraculously, when the baby saw its mother, it calmed down.
Meanwhile, Chana called Chaverim and within minutes, members Shloimie Lison and Yisroel Zirkind arrived and unlocked the door.
The woman hugged Chana and couldn’t stop thanking Chaverim for going out of their way to help a non-Jewish stranger for no cost. She then revealed that she was a nurse who had once cared for an elderly Jewish couple in Montreal. They were once locked out of their home and Chaverim had opened the door then as well.
“The moment I saw the way you treated me I knew you must be a Jew,” she told Chana, “only your community does such selfless acts of kindness to complete strangers.”

Reminder
Great reminder that even though many times we pause to figure out why a stranger is distressed and find out that it’s ‘nothing’, there’s always situations in which that kind of selflessness can change lives and we should never stop trying to help others! Kol hakavod!
