Human Dignity & Compassion

Every Person is an Entire World

What can inspire us to remember the individuality of each hostage and each and every human? What can we create to help others remember and act on behalf of the hostages?

All humans deserve to be safe and secure and each individual is a world unto himself- עולם ומלואו. Each human being comprises their own unique and full understanding and contributions to the world. We need each one’s gifts for our world to be complete. We are all human and as our circles of responsibility and interconnectivity overlap we feel closer and closer to each other and benefit from the gifts each person brings to the world. We are more complete as a whole when every human is honored and is at home. How can we be inspired by various artistic expressions to remember the hostages? What can we create and make in our communities to help keep the hostages in mind and not to forget?
