Rabbi Yehuda Menchel was riding the subway when, just before his stop, he noticed that someone who had gotten off a few stops earlier had left a package on the seat.

He felt it was the right thing to go out of his way to return it. The package had an address on it, so he brought it to a FedEx store and asked to have it shipped.

The employee asked him what was inside. Rabbi Menchel replied that he had no idea. When the employee looked perplexed, he explained that he had found the package on the subway and simply wanted to make sure it got back to its owner.

The employee seemed confused at first. Then his face lit up.

“Oh! You mean you just wanted to do the right thing?! That’s amazing! You don’t see that very often nowadays!”

Rabbi Menchel sent off the package, and a little while later, he received a letter in response. See the letter below.
