When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 19:33-34)
Rabbi Haller says that even though there may be people in our country, state, or community who may not be here in a legal sense, should still be treated as human beings. They should not be exploited or mistreated in any way.
Rabbi Geter says...I agree with Rabbi Haller. Whether a person is legal or not should not change the way you treat them, they still are human beings.
Rabbi Connelly
Rabbi Elliott says I agree that aliens should not be exploited or mistreated in any way because one who wishes to mistreat an alien truly has no grounds for doing so. All humans are equal giving nobody the right to mistreat others.
Rabbi Borsh says treat immigrants as we would like to be treated if we were visiting another country. In the Prep community we all treat each others with respect as should we every where else in our lives. (O_O)
Rabbi Geier says that we should look at everyone the same. We should not look down on others, because they are different or new to something. At prep if we see someone who is new, instead of ignoring him, we need to show him around and include that person in activities.
I agree that all people should be looked at the same no matter if they are different or not. Rabbi Boulay
I agree with Rabbi Geier by saying that everyone should be created equally, but everyone is unique in their own way and they should be treated as such. Rabbi Haller
Main topic
Rabbi Hoy says that this verse means that you should treat people how you would want to be treated. At prep this would mean that if there was a transfer student or even freshman who are new the place, we must welcome them as we would want to be welcomed. I think for the most part that students at creighton prep do a very good job of this.
Rabbi Buttner agrees with Rabbi Hoy., especially about the freshmen. I think that Prep does a decent job of welcoming the freshmen with Big Brothers, but we could always be better.
Rabbi Cunningham
I agree with Rabbi Hoy because this is what prep should be. We should be a community with open arms and allow people to succeed whether or not the student has spent all four years at prep.
I agree with Rabbi Hoy becaue we need to help those who are new to Prep, instead of putting them aside. We should help them around, and show them the Prep community, so that they do not feel like the new kid anymore.
Rabbi Geter says...this verse means to treat people how you would want to be treated, no matter what there background is. This is revelent at Prep in the fact there are all different types of people who attend Prep and no matter where they came from, what part of Omaha they live in, or what grade school they went to, they still should be treated as if they are a human being made by God.
Rabbi Cunningham says that this verse means we should welcome in people who are different than you. At Creighton Prep, life could be hard if you feel alone and distant to everyone. It should be taken upon the students to make sure this doesn't happen and to make everyone feel comfortable in school. You shouldn't mistreat someone because they aren't the same as you. Treat and love everyone the same because you aren't better than anyone else, you are just different
Most Reverend and Elite Rabbi Connelly wonders if anyone actually agreeing with Rabbi Cunningham would actually behave as accepting as this.
Rabbi Hoy says that he agrees with Dusty's comment. I like the statement that says that you must treat and love everyone the same because you arent better than anyone else. I completly agree with this statement.
Rabbi Arkfeld agrees that it is good to be considerant of others' feelings in school, but that one should not forget to allow this value to translate into other parts of one's life. This should be a part of one's political, social and economic views as well as simply in the interactions one has with classmates.
Rabbi Arkfeld is abusing third person writing to agree with himself.
Rabbi Minnick says that you should treat everyone as you wanted to be treated, especially if they are from a foreign land
Rabbi Connelly says that this can apply to everyone. I am willing to bet that most people on here have felt enstranged and lonely at some point in his life, and there is no better cure for this than human support.This passage helps to remind us of the importance of acceptance.
Rabbi Buttner says that Connelly has a very point. Aliens does not necessarily mean someone new to somewhere. Sometimes people who've been a part of a school or a social group for significants amount of time can be alienated or ostracized.
Rabbi Bernhart says that this verse is quite a prevalant message today and should be taken to heart. During the high school process at Prep there is bound to be some people that transfer into the school from out of state or from other school, and it is our duty to take care of them and make them feel welcome in the Prep community. In a broader sense, illegal immigration is an issue that causes much debate throughout the United States. Just a few years ago a Prep student had his parents deported after a long and arduous tenure of living in the United States. Instead of treating this student with harsh maltreatment, the Prep community helped him to graduate and feel at home when he needed it the most. This is what Prep should be: an accepting place that treats people with the utmost respect no matter their age, gender, sexuality, or legal status.
Rabbi Elliott says although people have different views and personalities, it doesn't give anyone the right to treat them differently because in the end, everybody is still a human being. No one deserves to be treated unfairly because nobody is of higher popularity than anyone else. At Prep, everyone is equal so differences regarding particular aspects of each student should not affect how a certain student is treated. It is important for Prep students to not overlook the fact that everyone is equal so everyone is given a chance at acceptance in our school.
Rabbi Addison says that this expereince can leave the Prep and be applied to the entire human experience, yo
stop
Rabbi Arkfeld says this is an ideal not followed by many people when considering political and economic issues concerning illegal immigration. This is because it is much easier to destroy someone's life or rip a family apart if one thinks of these victims as a monetary drain instead of actual human beings.
You're wrong.
