Parashat Va-eira: Walking With You

Angela W. Buchdahl  |  January 27, 2017

Standing up for the stranger, the refugee, the religious minority, is not just a matter of political debate or partisanship. It is our moral inheritance and our proud history...Some Jewish values are so clear that our spiritual home will be compromised if we stand idly by and do not act. So I promise you, we will be rigorous and thoughtful about what we do, be guided constantly by our Torah, and mindful of the diversity and sensitivities of our community.
