Question

Hello and blessings, Rabbi. I helped my niece who asked for directions to a wedding, and I made a mistake in what I told her. She ended up in a different place, which caused her a lot of distress, and it seems she ended up in an Arab area and was afraid for her life. Also, I made other mistakes when helping my sister buy the wrong things because I misunderstood or something similar. My question is, should I stop helping?

Answer

Hello.

There is no reason for you to stop helping.

It is clear to me that many times your help has been very beneficial.

It is important to pay attention when advising someone, to ensure you have told them the correct thing. But beyond that, do not hesitate to help.

Helping is our privilege, and what comes of it is in the hands of Heaven.
