This week,The first trailer went out for theFred Rogers movieA beautiful day in the neighborhood, featuringTom Hanks. It is reminding everyone what a wonderful Rogers man was and how much his message ofKindness and understanding Impact on the world. In response to the effusion of love, author and rabbi influentialDanya Ruttenberg wrote a thread On Twitter who gave examples of how the Presbyterian Minister of Worship applied his faith to his long-standing show of education,The neighborhood of Rogers, to do thea better world.

"[His] the work of his life was built almost entirely ... around Leviticus 19:18 (you will love your neighbor as yourself.) Where ... the neighborhood," shetweeted. From Ruttenberg posted the thread Tuesday, he was retweeted more than 27,000 times, and he is a must for anyone who wants to feel inspired by the way Rogers chose to express his faith.

Ruttenberg cited the sceneThe neighborhood of Rogers who played as the pool integration has become a major problem in America when Rogers washed his and agentFrançois Clemmons'Feet together in a children's pool. "It can be assumed that the right reverend Rogers fully held the Christian meaning of his choices in feet," Ruttenberg tweeted. Numerousto believe Whether when Rogers took a towel and helped the feet of dry clemons, it was clearly a reference to Jesus washing the feet of his disciples saying, "If I can, your Lord and the master, I washed you his feet, You must also wash each other feet ".

Rogers told him to stay away from the gay bars at the time (late 1960s / early 1970s) because he knew that if it came out, it would not be able to stay on a show Television for children. It seems homophobic now, but the times were different ".

Then ".

AfterRobert F. Kennedy was murdered in 1968, Rogers used one of his puppets, Daniel Striped Tiger, to explain what the word "assassination" means, thus "name real things and simply holding the space to let the children treat with them Rather than trying to hide or minimize or gaslight because it seems too hard ".

Ruttenberg thencited something Rogers would have said once about thesexual spectrum: "Well, you know, I have to be right right because I found attractive women, and I found attractive men. " The quote isMaxwell King BiographyGood Neighbor: The life and work of Fred Rogers, And he sent the internet into a frenzy back in March. In the recent HBO documentaryYou will not be my neighbor?Rogers and family friendskept that he was probably notLGBTQBut that does not affect his global acceptance message.

Because, like Ruttenberg written in the thread, "the whole district of Mr. Rogers can be summed up like: Cultivateempathy. To be curious. It is correct to have hard feelings. And above all, love your neighbor like yourself ".

And she ended up with a call for action to do Rogers proud.
