A photo of an Orthodox Jewish couple sitting next to a Muslim woman and her baby has gone viral. This picture was taken on a train in New York.
The picture, originally shared from a Facebook user named Jackie Summers, is captioned: “A Taoist (me) gives up his seat so a Hasidic couple could sit together. They scoot over so a Muslim mother could sit and nurse her baby, on Easter Sunday. This is my America: people letting people be people.”
The post has received thousands of shares over the past week. It shows that despite having different religions and the political climate in the country, people can still respect one another in everyday life. I would be curious to know the angle of this story from other perspectives as well.
