Rav Moshe Feinstein and the Car Door
A driver slams the car door on Rav Moshe Feinstein's fingers. In great pain, Rav Moshe says nothing, so as not to embarrass the man who kindly drove him.
Someone once drove Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (1895–1991), zt’l, from home to yeshiva. As Rabbi Feinstein was leaving the car, the driver accidentally closed the door on his fingers. Despite his great pain, Rabbi Feinstein did not emit a sound, and he calmly proceeded to the door of his yeshiva. Some of his students who had witnessed this rushed over to assist their teacher, who was obviously suffering. One of them asked Rabbi Feinstein why he did not say anything to the driver. “He was kind enough to drive me to the yeshiva. How could I embarrass him?” he replied (Bastion of Faith).
