Describes pastoral support of a representational Jewish adult with a developmental disability in a predominantly Christian setting, including Bat Mitzvah preparation and celebration, and the resulting growth in self-esteem. Outlines how this undertaking initiates a transformation into interfaith awareness and appreciation in the author and in the surrounding Jewish and Christian communities. Urges recognition of the gift of people with disabilities to bring together others of varied religious traditions in mutual appreciation and friendship.
描述了在以基督教为主的环境中，为一名有发育障碍的犹太成年代表提供的牧师支持，包括成人礼的准备和庆祝，以及由此带来的自尊提升。概述了这一行动如何在作者以及周围的犹太和基督教社区引发了向跨信仰意识和欣赏的转变。敦促认识到残疾人的天赋，即能将不同宗教传统的人聚集在一起，相互欣赏并建立友谊。
