SUMMARY:Common Ground: Government Reaching Into Our Sacred Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, the Rabbinical Assembly and United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and The Episcopal Church joined 25 other regional and national Jewish and Christian organizations in filing a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security over new rules allowing immigration raids and arrests at houses of worship. These rules rescind a 30-year-old policy that protected houses of worship and other sensitive locations. Many of our congregations have reached out in distress about this change. What can clergy do now to ensure we protect our community? \nThis is part of the Common Ground: Interfaith Dialogue series. Rabbi Jay Stein\, Greenburgh Hebrew Center\, and Rev. Gareth Evans\, St. Barnabas Episcopal Church of Irvington\, come together for an enlightening conversation to build bridges across real and perceived differences. Your participation as a “fly on the wall” and/or an engaged conversationalist is welcome. These are on the 2nd Thursday of every month.
