Hi Rabbi, I continued our conversation but for some reason it went to another Rabbi, Ari Shvat. Ill send this again to you, since it concerns your answer: Greetings, and Thank you for your answer. I fear you misunderstood me, though. When I said that all mankind were equally made in the image of God, equally children of God, and equally worthy of redemption, I was not referring to individual talents or purposes. I was referring to something much more fundamental and universal. I suppose you can call it human nature. To use your example of a parent. I have 3 children; 2 boys and a girl. All grown now. Although they are all different, with different talents and professions, and although my relationship with each one is slightly different, they were all raised with the same rules. All judged by the same disciplinary standards and treated that way equally. I had the 10 commandments hanging on the wall. If one child wronged another, he had to apologize. Whoever he apologized to, had to forgive. They owned up to the wrong committed, faced the person they wronged, asked forgiveness and were forgiven. End of story. Amazing how quickly a fight can be completely forgotten and resolved this way. The rules and discipline were equally administered. And of course, no lying, no stealing, no coveting, etc.. Treat others as you would want to be treated. As you can see, none of this has to do with different talents or roles. Its much more fundamental. No one got a free pass, even if they could be considered a "favorite." You wouldnt be doing any child a favor by neglecting to discipline them. In THIS way, we are all equally children of God, all equally made in the very image of God, and we are all equally worthy of redemption. Isnt this the Jewish perception at this fundamental, universal level? Thanks for your time and patience. I really appreciate it.

Greetings and blessings, Your approach to education sounds very impressive and wonderful. Your words are true—that we were all created in the image of God, and God loves all of His creations. The people of Israel as well, love all of humanity. Non-Jews who observe their Seven Noahide Laws and treat one another with goodness, including proper conduct and acts of kindness, will also merit the World to Come. None of this contradicts the fact that the people of Israel have an additional "mission." Wishing you much success!
