בס”ד

A long time ago, the people of Israel made big stones.

Words from the Torah were written on the stones.

The words were not only for Israel.

G-d wanted all the people of the world to learn about Him.

His message was for everyone.

This teaches us something beautiful:

G-d loves all people.

Everyone can learn to do what is good and right.

Everyone can learn to be kind and help others.

Imagine that you see a child at school who is sad.

You can walk away.

Or you can stop and ask,

“Are you okay? Can I help you?”

When you help someone, you do something that makes God happy.

People everywhere can choose to do good and come closer to G-d.
