"Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the lord." (Leviticus 19:18) I chose this because I believe its very bad to hold a grudge. It only hurts you and usually the person isn't very concerned about it. I also do not believe that doing something for revenge is ever necessary. You would have spent a lot more time thinking about it, and harming yourself then it would effect them. We have always been taught to treat others how we want to be treated. This is a relatively easy one to fulfill, but a lot of people still don't. They let their feelings control them instead of controlling their feelings. It is something people should really consider and pay more attention to. A Jew in the modern world can try to be more open and understanding to the events happening all around us.
I chose this picture because it was an Arabic restaurant, but a lot of the people eating there were Jews and I think that shows really well how if you do not hold a grudge and "love thy neighbor as thyself" then you will get along with whoever. I also think the lights were really beautiful and everyone could come together and enjoy the setting. In the end, people will act how they want to, but this is a very good one to try and follow.
