She had just gotten engaged and is flying back to Israel tonight. All was going great until she called. She had gone out to dinner and dropped her wallet. She knew it must have fallen out of her pocket the last few blocks she walked, but they ran back and it was gone. Clearly someone had grabbed it. I called the local police station in Brookline, MA where she was staying. The wonderful officer who answered said nothing had been returned. He didn’t sound hopeful but told me to try back again as maybe someone would bring it in. And then we got an email. Not to our personal email, but to one of the websites we run, Interinclusion.org. It read:
Hello, I am trying to locate Nava Crispe. I found her purse on Harvard St in Brookline, MA few minutes ago and have been looking online for contact information. I found a phone number in Vermont but there was no answer. Please called me at xxx at your convenience.
Aron
We immediately called Aron and then late last night, he went back out to meet my daughter and return her lost wallet. We are so unbelievably grateful for his integrity, honesty and the effort he put in to track us down. Returning lost objects is one of the 613 commandments in the Torah. A mitzvah is the concept of connection, and there is no question that his act of kindness is one that will bring unity, connection and a boost of faith in humanity for all those that hear this story.
