My body is not your charity box

My body is not your charity box

My body is not broken to be fixed

Fixed through prayer

Fixed through charity

Fixed through good deeds

Fixed through psalms

Fixed through rabbi's healing powers in exchange for checks

My body is not broken

My body is created by god

My body is in the image of god

My body is a whole vessel

My body has unique tools

My body has a different job than yours

My body sings unbroken prayer just the same

I dont need to be "healed"

I need to have a ramp to houses of prayer

I needed teachers who taught inclusion

I need accessible spots in your pews

I need accessible bathrooms that arent closets

I need to be seen as a valuable member of your community

I need to be seen beyond a mitzvah opportunity

I need to be seen beyond a coin in your charity box of the day

I need to be seen and accepted as a Jewish Disabled person
