The Mitzvah that I relate the most to is Leviticus 19:33-34."When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not wring him. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as one if your citizens; you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I the Lord am your God." I interpret this Mitzvah as simply be kind to people no matter who they are. Whether they are native to your land, or from the other side of the world, it shouldn't matter because we are all humans, and should be treated as such. Throughout my day I make it a point to ask people how they are doing. Whether I know them or not, I try to be kind. If they need help with something then I try my best to help them, and especially being in Israel where I don't speak the language, I still strive to do the best that I can. I think that if I follow this Mitzvah everyday, then I will be lead to so many amazing people all with their own unique stories that I can share with others as we work to make the whole world a loving and united Kehillah.
This picture is showing people of different cultures and races coming together as a team and interacting with each other peacefully regardless of their differences. I believe that this picture represents this particular Mitzvah really well, because it shows people setting aside their differences and excepting each other for who they are and not judging them by how they look.
