The original inhabitants of Ireland were hunter-gatherers, and they almost certainly migrated from Britain to Ireland as the last ice age ended.
Age can always be a sensitive topic for people. Usually, the first thing we want to know about a person is, "How old are you?" Once we receive an answer, we often pass judgment or make assumptions about the person based on his or her age. We often…

"Respect your elders" — I'm sure we've all heard this phrase a few thousand times in our lives so far. But the phrase exists for a reason, and I like to think it's because our elders know things about life that us youths may not. Sure, not every…

The first baby pondered for a moment before responding, “I’m not sure. I’ve heard some say there is, but I can’t see it for myself.” The second baby smiled knowingly. “Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there were two seeds lying side by side in the fertile soil of a garden. […]
Have you ever had to deal with the dilemma of checking “male” or “female?" Some of us just can't be confined to those boxes. And you shouldn't have to be! Here's a comic that captures the frustration of this moment. Let the hero of this comic be a hero for all of us whose true identities can't be defined by these small boxes. You deserve to feel free to be you.
The time on the Jewish calendar between the holidays of Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot is reserved for counting the omer. This mitzvah (commandment) derives from the Torah commandment to count forty-nine days beginning from the day on which the Omer, a sacrifice containing a measure of barley, was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, up until the day before an offering of wheat was brought to the Temple on Shavuot, the holiday that commemorates the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. We use this time for reflection on our journey through the wilderness as we move from freedom to revelation. As such, there are many wonderful commentaries and teachings on what it means to "count". Here are some of my thoughts: Prove that Every Child Counts. In the coming weeks we will read the Torah portion Bemidbar, a census-taking of the Israelites in the wilderness. The Torah spends intentional time identifying exactly who was counted, listing them by names and by their families. This was a significant way of telling them: “You have names, you have families; you are dignified human beings, you are not objects...you EACH count!” Too often people with disabilities are referred to by their classification, diagnosis, physical attributes or limitations. We hear people say, “the Autistic boy in my class” or “that girl in the wheelchair”. Even worse, we still hear words like crippled, retarded, handicapped or diseased. These words and statements are demeaning; undermining individuals for who they truly are. It should be our goal to move away from the disability as the primary, defining characteristic of an individual, and rather recognize it as but one of several aspects of a whole person. This sums it up nicely, I think: As we relieve our journey through the wilderness, as we count the omer, let us remember God’s message to the Israelites, for it is still a message that we must embrace today: “You each count.” Sign up here to be sure you never miss a post from Removing the Stumbling Block:
