Being part of the Jewish community, I recognize the beautiful diversity that exists globally. We have managed to sustain ancient traditions and preserve our history and language through the centuries, in and outside our indigenous homeland.

I take pride in our people's ability to not only survive but thrive, despite facing numerous challenges such as invasion, theft, destruction, ethnic cleansing, persecution, oppression, and death.

Every day is a celebration, waking with a prayer of thanks for the restoration of my soul and appreciating the miracles G-d provides.

Embracing the mosaic of Judaism, I celebrate the Igbo Jews of Nigeria, the Bene Israel in India, the Sabras in Israel, the Beta Israel of Ethiopia, and the vast diversity of Jewish communities in the Middle East, South and Central America, the Caribbean, Asia, North America, and Europe. We form a vibrant tapestry of colors, dialects, cultures, and practices, united by our love of tradition and dedication to Tikkun Olam.
