“What we fail to teach our children and what the community fails to see is that we need inclusion and acceptance, not superficial chesed. I’m not looking for someone to come and sit with my child, call her cute and feel like they’ve done something good. No, I need people to come alongside us during the hard times as well. You don’t just get to host my child for a meal or a night and check a box that you’ve done integration. True acceptance is completely integrating my child in all aspects of society.” Parenting AdviceJewishJewish IdentitySpecial Needs Parenting Book:Chutzpah, Wisdom and Wine: The Journey of an Unstoppable Woman Source: Chutzpah, Wisdom and Wine: The Journey of an Unstoppable Woman
