NOVEMBER 23 • 2023 | 33 J N Arabic news television channel, about his work advocating for disability rights worldwide. People were so moved by the program, he says, that Bernstein will soon be going with Al Arabiya to Saudi Arabia — a United Nations member state that doesn’t recognize Israel — to create a feature presentation on the life of a disabled Jewish American. “It’s going to really highlight in a positive way a Jewish person doing a positive thing,” Bernstein explains. “There’s no politics, [there’s no religion]. We’re just going to spend time with people that have severe disabilities and face the biggest challenges in life.” TURKEY As another country that Bernstein says “doesn’t have the greatest relations with the United States,” the Michigan Supreme Court justice embarked on a tour in Turkey to meet people with disabilities and identify opportunities to improve their quality of life. His work was featured on Turkish economic media channel EKOTURK TV, where Bernstein discussed accessibility, especially in an ancient country where many streets and sidewalks are original cobblestone and pose difficulty for people with disabilities. However, these three efforts barely scratch the surface of Bernstein’s vast work across the globe promoting disability rights and forging relationships with various countries. Bernstein has also visited China, India, Australia, Italy and soon-to-be Egypt, where Bernstein says a staggering 30% of the population is disabled — and these are only the reported numbers. “It’s a huge part of who I am and what my job is,” he says of his work outside of the court. “This is why I feel blessed to have a disability and to be able to do this type of work.” Justice Richard Bernstein visits with members of the Munasim Kullakita Foundation and women of the Transitional Home in Bolivia (children’s images have been blurred). 5829 Maple Rd.
