This is a small example, but I was taking the train from Rehovot to the Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. I had to change trains in central TA and wasn't sure exactly which one to get on. I asked an older lady sitting across from me on the train from Rehovot if she could tell me the one I needed to transfer to once we arrived in TA. We exited the train together, she walked me to the correct platform, sat with me while we waited (and asked around to make sure she was right), and then boarded the train with me. It turns out she was also going to the airport but she never said that! I think it's great that she was willing to befriend me for that hour rather than just give me an answer and do her own thing. I love the kindness of strangers.
