Oral law assignment

In Leviticus 19 verse 14 the mitzvot says “You shall not insult the deaf, or a place of stumbling block before the blind.” Growing up I was taught to never be mean to people who have disabilities but instead help them. To me this Mitzvah says that you should not be mean to people who have disabilities of any sort. They could be mental or physical because it’s just rude. When I was in elementary school there was a Keshet program at my school and I would go spend my recess time playing games and helping the kids in the program learn, and to this day I still go to the school to spend time with the kids there. This can be a guideline for me as a Jew by reminding me that I can’t always be there to stop the rude comments towards people but I can at least help them overcome the situation.

This is my best friend Alex. She has helped me through my parents divorce, many pets passing away, and my mental and physical illness’. I miss her more than I miss my own family and being without her for the past two months have been interesting. She has been me as I am to the kids in the Keshet program.
