My name is Meyer Greenberger and I am 36 years old. Even though I am wheelchair-bound, I do many things without using my legs. I go around to schools and educate people, all kinds of people, from very young children to adults. What does it mean to have a disability? To me, having a disability means that this is the way that G-d brought me into this world, and I have to be thankful for the way I am. I am an Orthodox Jew and I believe in G-d very much; the willpower that I have comes from believing in G-d. Everything that I do to help people is very important. I feel I am doing the most that I can do. The more I help people, the more willpower I have, the more of a positive impact G-d will have on me.
This is a dream of mine. This is the way I would like to be… but I am happy the way I am…
I am walking in the woods all by myself without my wheelchair. You might wonder where my wheelchair is. The answer is my wheelchair is behind the bushes, and a miracle happened that I walked all the way up the road and at the end of the road there was a bubble. I put my hand into the bubble and there was a boat inside. I took out the boat and I went canoeing in the ocean. It was just me and the boat, and the boat spoke to me. A boat doesn’t have a mouth, so you have to ask, how would a boat speak to anyone? The answer is that G-d told me what the boat said. The boat told me that “From now on you won’t need a wheelchair because you are not handicapped. You are able to walk alone, wherever you want to go.” When I heard that, I thought, “How does the boat know to tell me that?” I asked the boat and he told me that it is very hard to explain. He said, “I know you are a smart person, and you can figure this out on your own.” I asked him, “What do you mean ‘figure it out on my own’?” He told me that if he explained it, I would be shocked and wouldn’t believe it. But, if I really wanted, he would do me a favor and tell me. I would have to listen carefully. Following his directions, I walked down the road. There was a wooden cabin. I went inside and opened the bedroom door. On the bed there was an album. I opened that album very carefully and in it a voice told me to take an envelope. In the envelope there was a paper that said, “Meyer, you were never handicapped to begin with.” There was a picture of me. I was glad to think, “This is the way G-d made me.”
This is my dream. What is yours?
