A man of African origins accosted me in the almost deserted subway station and told me that he has 9 dollars and needs three more.
I "klerred" a sefeik: Is this a REQUEST like they do back home in Israel or is this a demand which if refused can be dangerous.
I wasn't sure and this was no time for complex pilpulim so I quickly jumped on to a train that had suddenly arrived [the "B"]. But it wasn't my train [I needed the "C"]. So then I quickly jumped off and ran out of the now crowded station.
הודו לשם כי טוב!!!
