Friendship Circle of Los Angeles runs a Winter Camp for the children and young adults with special needs.
“Something very moving took place last week,” Rabbi Michy Rav-Noy, Executive Director Friendship Circle of Los Angeles, tells COLlive.com.
One of the young adults at camp is named Aaron Schneerson. Born to a respected family, he brings his pair of Tefillin to camp every day and puts them on. As he has Down’s Syndrome, he recites an abridged davening.
One day during camp was also his own birthday and he decided to offer his volunteer David, to put on Tefillin. David agreed and Aaron quickly got into action wrapping the straps on him.
Together they recited “Shema Yisroel” and then Aaron even added in the end, “We Want Moshiach Now!”
“In these difficult and turbulent times, we should all take a page out of the diary of the population who has special needs,” says Rabbi Rav-Noy.
“Simplicity and doing what needs to be done. This is what Aaron represents. Let’s see Moshiach very soon in the merit of these very special human beings.”

If only there were more of them around. Each one of them is a gem. The rebbe called them generals…they surpassed all levels of Tzivos hashem, they are at the level of a general. We have so much to learn from them!!
We have to stop thinking how different they are from us and realize how much they have to offer us as human beings. How much they give to the the world with their unparalleled ahavas Yisroel
