I once went to a
blind museum [music] in Israel.
So,
it's a tour
but from a blind man
through a blind
street? I don't know what it is cuz I
couldn't see it. They Everything is
dark. You can't see it. You're They They
sort of mimic what it mean what it feels
like to be a blind person. And they set
up different rooms where you can go and
experience what it means to [music] be
blind. So, I'm going through all the
different rooms. There's a bakery, and
there's a grocery store, and there's a
library, and a post office, and then the
end is a cafe where all the people in
the tour sit down, and the tour guide
who's blind, he serves you drinks.
Whatever you ask, he gets it right,
[music] which is amazing cuz you want
Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, no problem. He
brings you each one even though he's
blind.
And we were able to ask him questions,
whatever we wanted. So, there were
people who asked him, you know, dumb
questions [music] like, "You ever put
salt in your coffee by mistake?" Or,
"You ever walk into the wrong house?"
Cuz this was a man who He led his life
by himself as a blind man. [music] He
was independent.
I asked him a question. I said, "Is
there anything about being blind that
you're grateful for?"
She said, "You know, that's a good
question.
There is.
And that is that when I meet somebody, I
could care less what they look like
because I can't see them.
So, I immediately care about how kind
[music] they are, about how deep they
are,
about if they're compassionate. It's the
only thing I care about." And he told
me, "Once you get past how fat, how
skinny, [music] how rich, how
good-looking, how with-it, how stylish,
how not stylish somebody is,
you realize
people are fascinating.
They're amazing. They're full of depth.
They're souls.
That is the after the coming. No one is
forcing you
to love every single person [music] in
Israel.
It's a mitzvah to look at yourself a
little bit more like a soul. And once
you do, you realize everyone's souls.
