Palm Springs Human Rights Commission Speech

“ Human Rights!

What a simple, logical concept!

Justice for all!

I believe that every human being has the right to live with dignity, in peace, and to choose who they love.

They are entitled to worship (or not) as they please as long as they don't impose their will on others.

Yes! Me too! We have the right to our own bodies.

HUMAN RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE!

My religion is KINDNESS! Everyone deserves a little space in the universe!

YES! I do believe that "we are our brother's keepers! Those less capable," or those with fewer opportunities should be helped by those more fortunate!

A (Hebrew) word: TIKUN- OLAM to help to repair the world!

We all have that responsibility.

It saddens me that we still have to talk about HUMAN RIGHTS!

That the rights of all human beings are still controversial and not just a given. But, I will continue to share my stories of survival during the Holocaust! The darkest years in human history and my care and compassion knowing that my individual act of kindness and generosity influences the whole of humanity.

We still have the potential to evolve to a point where all human beings value, cherish, and care for one another and this beautiful earth.”
