“More than the Jewish people have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jewish people.”

Rabbi Kimberly Herzog Cohen draws a powerful parallel between Shabbat and democracy. Just as Shabbat has sustained the Jewish people across generations, our participation helps sustain the democracy we share.

As we welcome Shabbat, make a plan to vote! Early voting continues through October 30, and Election Day is November 3.

Shabbat Shalom!

This weekend, we explored the connections among our Jewish story, our responsibility to welcome the stranger and the experiences of immigrants and refugees today.

Thank you to Rabbi Sarah Bassin, HIAS Rabbi-in-Residence, for joining us for the Henry D. Schlinger Ethics Symposium and inviting us to consider how our Jewish values can shape the world around us.

Our responsibility to welcome the stranger extends beyond this weekend. Continue reflecting on these questions by watching Rabbi Bassin’s Shabbat sermon, "Reclaiming a National Narrative of Welcome," on YouTube at youtu.be/mXRxVFf3H9Q
