Parsha Challenge! Love the stranger. The mitzvah of "love the stranger" reminds us of the power in embracing those who are different from us, recognizing the shared humanity in everyone—even those who seem unfamiliar or out of place. Weird Barbie might just be the perfect example of this. In the seemingly perfect Barbie world, Weird Barbie stands out with her unconventional looks and quirky personality. Often misunderstood or marginalized, she represents the "stranger" among the familiar. But when we choose to embrace Weird Barbie, we’re reminded of the beauty in respecting and loving those who don’t fit the mold. This week’s parsha doesn't just ask us to be nice to the stranger—it commands us to *love* them. Let’s go the extra mile to honor and love the uniqueness in everyone, recognizing the inherent worth in all people, no matter how "strange" they may seem.
