The mitzvah I chose was Leviticus 19:3 which says "You shall each revere his mother and his father, and keep My sabbaths." I chose this mitzvah because it is important to love your parents and respect what they have done for you. I believe this mitzvah means that you should always hold a place in your heart for your parents. To fulfill this mitzvah, don't take things for granted and be nice to your parents. Asking them how their day went or helping with things such as errands or chores shows you care. In the modern jewish world, it shows that we have had a tradition of keeping our parents close to us for thousands of years.

Here is a photo of me and my parents outside of a hotel in Jerusalem today. It was the first time I got to see them in over two months, and was also the longest I had ever gone without seeing them. I ran out of the taxi and gave them each a big hug and we talked for awhile about how my time was going and their trip as well. This photo shows me loving my parents genuinely.
