The legendary Reb Levi Yischak of Berditchev, while walking, saw a Jewish wagon driver donning tefillin while fixing a broken wheel. His companion scoffed pejoratively, “What kind of Jew wears tefillin while doing such lowly work?”

Reb Levi Yischak remarked, “What a holy Jew, even while working he serves God.”
