AVOIDING ASPERSIONS

[59b bottom] Abaye: We do not call another Kohen after a Kohen, or a different Levi after a previous Levi to make the Brachos over the Torah, in order that onlookers should not mistakenly think that there was a problem with the previous person.

D-E-ep Thoughts: We should always try to look out for other people’s best interests, especially when we are not given credit or recognition. By anonymously doing for others it makes us better in the process. When we do not have ulterior motives, we are able to do good for its own sake and grow in our spirituality.
