GENTILE GESTURES

[61a middle] The Rabbis [in a Braisa]: We provide financial support to the gentile poor along with the Jewish poor, we visit the gentile sick along with the Jewish sick, and we bury the gentile dead just as with the Jewish dead, since these are some of the ways to foster harmony.

Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should always act carefully when promoting good relationships and peace with our non-Jewish friends. It is very important to ensure a Kiddush Hashem (sanctification of G-d’s name) in everything that we do.
