"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” 

— Buddha

Ebitari loves this passage from Micah 6:8 and tries to live by it. This Human Right Month, we are reminded that ‘God has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?’.

December is Universal Human Rights Month, a time for people in the U.S. and around the world to join together and stand up for the rights and dignity of all individuals. December 10, Human Rights Day, is a global holiday that marks the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations in 1948.* This month DDS remembers and pays tribute to those who gave their lives, their freedom still struggling for their basic human rights, 

The world is our global village which is constantly facing a threat of human rights violation. Let it be Facebook or Twitter feed or the newspaper or news channels we are reminded each day how vulnerable humans are in some parts of the world or better called everywhere. Human – the term – abolishes all classification of race, ethnicity, age, gender, social class, nationality or sexual orientation. We stand as one strong force. But what is a human without humanity? Human rights are the basic rights that we are born with but are deprived of later because of cultural impositions, familial rules and state dictatorship. 

DDS shares plenty of ways to raise our voices for the recognition and awareness of Human Rights:

➋ Use #NationalHumanRights and #HumanRights to post on social media.

In 2006, President George W. Bush proclaimed May as Jewish American Heritage Month. We recognize and remember the 23 Jewish refugees who sailed to New York and founded the first generation of Jewish Americans during Jewish American Heritage Month. Over the years, successive generations of Jewish Americans have inspired our Nation to speak up for justice, equality, and freedom, influenced by their own encounters with prejudice, persecution, and the hope of a brighter tomorrow.

Below are some of the great Jewish American personalities that we honor and pay tribute to this month.

The greatest Jewish tradition is to laugh. The cornerstone of Jewish survival has 

always been to find humor in life and in ourselves. 

– Jerry Seinfeld

There many great names like Patricia Arquette, Torri Spelling, Marc Jacobs and Amy Winehouse that strengthen the Jewish American identity. This month, DDS celebrates Jewish Americans’ ageless traditions, legacy, and contributions, which continue to propel our nation’s advancement every day. Feel free to donate to Jewish Long Beach organization. Jewish American Heritage Month also examines the history of injustice faced by Jews throughout history, not only in America but around the world. We believe it’s a time to reflect on the sad circumstances they faced and, in some cases, still confront. The commemoration also provides a chance to combat anti-Semitism and learn about its history.

From September 15 through October 15, Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by honoring the histories, cultures, and accomplishments of American citizens with ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. National Hispanic Heritage Month serves as a timely reminder of how much power we derive as a nation from our immigrant beginnings and our ideals as an immigrant nation.

We commemorate Hispanic heritage as American heritage during National Hispanic Heritage Month. We see it in every element of our national life: on our television and movie screens, in the music that gets us up and dancing, and in the foods we eat. We benefit from the numerous efforts of Hispanic scientists working in labs around the country to combat COVID-19, as well as the physicians and nurses on the front lines caring for people’s health. 

Ramadan is a holy and fortunate month for Muslims all around the world, and it is one of Islam’s five pillars, which Muslims hold in high respect. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, and it is regarded as a particularly significant month since it is during Ramadan that the Quran (Holy Book) was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed PBUH. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, and it marks the beginning of a month of fasting between sunrise and dusk. During daytime hours, Muslims all around the globe will not eat or drink, but will continue to work or study.

DDS joins in the celebrations of Ramadan with everyone else. It’s a time for introspection and gratitude for what I have in my life, even if it’s not much. It is a time for family reunions and community gatherings all across the world to commemorate this beautiful month. It’s also a good opportunity to remember those who are less fortunate who may go without food and clean water all year. During Ramadan, we encourage all of our employees to observe the month’s sacredness.

To be the greatest version of yourself for others, you occasionally need to put yourself first. Since September is National Self-Care Awareness Month, it is the ideal time to practice making some "me" time a priority. Even while it’s simple to get caught up in caring for others, self-care is crucial for maintaining your mental health. It has been empirically demonstrated that practicing self-care may lessen or completely remove anxiety, despair, and stress as well as boost happiness, energy, and attention.

Check out these ways to promote self-care in your life, so you can walk away feeling refreshed and ready to do more good in the world.
