The World Needs More People Like This!

Our city is built on a big....height.  It's taller than a hill and smaller than a mountain.  I'm not sure what the word in English is (if there even is one!), but the word in Hebrew is rama.  There's a lot of "uphill" in walking around here (and remember that cars aren't anywhere near as common in Israel; for example, while I know many people with 0 or 1 car, I know *no one* who has two cars).

One of the main roads in town is a straight shot up.  It's one of the few roads that you can see the top of when you're at the bottom, and it can be a bit daunting, especially when it's a hot day (which it is most of the year.  It's mid-October and I haven't put on so much as a light sweater yet).  So it was a delight to discover that there's a family of absolute tadikim who have made part of the entrance to their home into a water station:

There's a water fountain with cups, a sign with the blessing to say before drinking water, and a sign asking that every blessing should help bring healing to a person special to them.  The sign on the left says, "Know this, dear one: the Creator of the World loves you very much".  During the hottest part of the summer, they put a few chairs out as well.
