I don’t particularly enjoy flying.
I generally do not pay shivah visits to people sitting “out of town.”
But this time was special.
That’s why I decided to fly to Detroit to be menachem avel Ken Perlman over the loss of his wife, Nechama Naomi Perlman.
Mrs. Perlman was not a major benefactor of the shul, although, based on her limited means, she was certainly a baalas tzedakah of the highest degree. She consistently gave of herself and her resources when needed.
But there was no financial consideration in my decision to go, nor were there any familial ties. Certainly there was no expectation on the part of her husband or daughter that I would come from Passaic to Detroit.
