Day 102: "Just as Theft of Money Is Theft, So Is Theft of Time"
We all have that one friend who makes plans to meet us for lunch at noon and doesn't show up until 12:30 or 1. And we understand that it's fine if someone got stuck in traffic or if something held them back at home, but if this is a habit, then we are actually considered to be stealing time from others.
Rabbi Teluskhin relays a story about the Chazon Ish in which the Chazon Ish gathered a minyan for mincha. One of the men told him that he had an appointment soon and the Chazon Ish sent him on his way saying that one may not pray on stolen time.
