Journalist Yair Sharky shared an old clip from the program "What Would You Do?" hosted by Haim Hecht, in which MK Shefa, when he was 25, is seen responding appropriately to a difficult social situation.
In the video, an actor in an ultra-Orthodox appearance is seen approaching a salesperson (who is also an actor) at a store that is looking for employees and asking to work there.

The seller, in response, tells him: "We don't accept dossies" - while repeating the sentence several times.
A 25-year-old man, who was in the store and didn't know he was being filmed, saw what was happening and protested to the seller. In the end, he even refused to purchase the product he had entered the store for.
A very nice piece by MK Ram Shefa @ramshefa From ten years ago.
