Chana,

As someone who has worked with individuals with disabilities for 40 years. I can tell you justice Bernstein‘s work with making transportation more accessible is invaluable. Another great interview. Reply

I am a Jewish woman with severe disabilities and need Richard's advice asap. Please. How can I contact him? Reply

I would encourage the verbalization of God , The Almighty, being his reason not just a higher purpose. Reply

I am deeply inspired by Justice Bernstein's positivity, humility, and drive to serve. I heard him speak at my law school and had been moved by his sense of mission and perseverance. This interview on Chabad.org was uniquely moving and uplifting, and I hope to emulate Justice Bernstein's example as an aspiring attorney, advocate, and fellow Jew. Reply
