kinsfolk but incur no guilt because of him”. To me, this means that loving your family is one of
the most important things that you can do. It also is saying that since you can’t change your
family it is necessary to help each other be better people, yet not in a degrading or
condescending way. For me personally, friends and people come and go but my family is
forever and they mean the world to me. My parents, my brother, and I are all very close and we
are constantly supporting each other and helping one another. If one of us thinks that we
know what’s best for another one of us, we don’t take it negatively and we all understand that
we all have each other's best interests in mind. I fulfill this Mitzvah in my daily life by calling
my parents and brother more days than not, even when I’m more than 6,000 miles away. We
all check up on each other because with me in Israel, and my brother away at college we won’t
all be together for a long time and so we make sure to still be close with each other. This is a
guideline for me as a Jew in the modern world because even when I become frustrated with my
family I can think back to my Jewish values and remember that I love them and that they love me.

This is a picture of my parents, my brother, and I at my brother's graduation party. This represents my Mitzvah because it is a reminder of the people who mean the most to me and that I can't forget about them or fall out of touch with them. I have it as my phone lock screen to remember that they are the most important people in my life and being connected to them needs to always be one of my top priorities.
