Jewish-Clergy-Letter-To-Secretary BOARD OF TRUSTEES Chair Bradley Abelow Vice Chairs Sharon Leslie Eric Sahn Treasurer James Koshland Secretary Carol Yanowitz Miller President and CEO Robert Bank The Honorable Michael R. Pompeo Marion Bergman Secretary of State Jay Cohan U.S. Department of State Monte Dube* Tom Dubin 2201 C Street NW Eileen Epstein Washington, D.C. 20250 Marty Friedman* Rabbi Elyse Frishman March 26, 2020 Marc Greenwald Michael Hirschhorn Carol Joseph Dear Mr. Secretary, Paul Lehman Howard Mandel As 302 rabbis and cantors from across 35 states and the District of Columbia Jill Minneman representing all major Jewish denominations, we write today to express our deep Rabbi Suzanne Offit Bill Resnick concerns about the State Department’s Commission on Unalienable Rights. Bruce E. Rosenblum Touted by you as a body that will explore the principles and foundations of Nathalie Rubens Suzanne Schecter human rights in U.S. foreign policy, the Commission’s work has become a thinly Elizabeth Galatin Seth veiled effort to apply dangerous religious ideology to curtail the human rights of Judith C. Stern Scott Waxman people across the globe. As Jews, our tradition teaches us that all human beings Past Chairs* are created b’tzelem Elohim, in the divine image. As a result, we stand in …………………………………….. opposition to any attempt to deny rights to the most vulnerable people, which, as is now apparent, is the Commission’s true aim. NEW YORK 45 West 36th Street New York, NY 10018 As clergy, we denounce efforts to propose that there is a crisis or a “proliferation” T 212.792.2900 of human rights today. To be clear, this is not the case. Rather, human rights movements around the world – including those for women, girls, and the lesbian, CHICAGO 4700 N. Ravenswood Avenue gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) community – benefit all Suite B Chicago, IL 60640 people. We stand in support of their resounding calls for justice. We know from T 312.579.3630 our own history that vulnerable people face stigma, violence, and discrimination LOS ANGELES simply because of their very identities. Our scriptures teach that we must love our 1 10495 Santa Monica Blvd. neighbors as we love ourselves – that we must stand up to injustice everywhere. Suite 110 Los Angeles, CA 90025 The divine is served only when all people have the opportunity to exercise their T 310.834.9588 rights and live a life of dignity. SAN FRANCISCO Unfortunately, the public views and records of individual Commissioners, and the 131 Steuart Street Suite 200 open meetings of the Commission itself, reject this divine mandate by asserting San Francisco, CA 94105 T 415.593.3280 that there is a hierarchy of rights, with purported freedom of religion and conscience at the top. As religious leaders, we firmly oppose this distinction. We WASHINGTON, D.C. object when supposed religious values are used to promote hate and 1001 Connecticut Avenue, NW Suite 1200 Washington, D.C. 20036 1 Leviticus 19:18, Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 54b T 202.379.4300 [email protected] www.ajws.org discrimination against those in vulnerable communities, including denying access to reproductive rights and criminalizing people because of who they are or whom they love. As 302 Jewish leaders from across this nation, we call on you, Mr. Secretary, to immediately disband the Commission on Unalienable Rights. We urge the State Department to uphold and promote the dignity of vulnerable people around the world. We further demand that the Department cease undermining the ability of women, girls, and LGBTQI people to access their sexual and reproductive health and rights, including abortion services, through this Commission or any other avenue. As faith leaders, we denounce the Commission’s efforts to allow hate and discrimination to masquerade as moral and religious beliefs. Rather, it is our moral obligation to uphold human rights and speak out against injustice and oppression.

    June 20, 2018 The Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, DC 20530 The Honorable Kirstjen Nielsen Secretary of Homeland Security Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 Dear Attorney General Sessions and Secretary Nielsen, On behalf of the 55 undersigned national and 291 state and local Jewish organizations and institutions, we write to express our strong opposition to the recently expanded “zero-tolerance” policy that includes separating children from their migrant parents when they cross the border. This policy undermines the values of our nation and jeopardizes the safety and well-being of thousands of people. As Jews, we understand the plight of being an immigrant fleeing violence and oppression. We believe that the United States is a nation of immigrants and how we treat the stranger reflects on the moral values and ideals of this nation. Many of these migrant families are seeking asylum in the United States to escape violence in Central America. Taking children away from their families is unconscionable. Such practices inflict unnecessary trauma on parents and children, many of whom have already suffered traumatic experiences. This added trauma negatively impacts physical and mental health, including increasing the risk of early death.1 Separating families is a cruel punishment for children and families simply seeking a better life and exacerbates existing challenges in our immigration system. It adds to the backlog of deportation cases and legal challenges in federal courts, places thousands more immigrants in detention facilities and shelters, endangers the lives of more children, and instills additional fear in people seeking safety in our country.

    Dear Members of Congress, As people of faith, we believe all people are made in the image of God, and we take very seriously the call to love our neighbors as ourselves. Right now, millions of immigrants who have deep roots in our communities are living in imminent danger of deportation. To remedy this senseless injustice, we urge you to support the Dream and Promise Act (HR. 6), the Dream Act of 2019 (S. 874) and the SECURE Act (S.879), common-sense legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship for people eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), people who hold Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and recipients of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED). The Trump administration’s decision to end DACA protections for young adults and strip TPS and DED protections away from people fleeing violence and disaster was immoral and cruel. People who have built lives, raised children and are members of our communities live in constant fear of losing everything. It’s past time for Congress to provide a path to citizenship for all people currently protected by DACA, TPS, and DED so our beloved neighbors can live full, free and secure lives in our communities. These bills reflect the values etched into the Statue of Liberty and woven throughout the scriptures and teachings of our diverse faiths. We call on all members of Congress to demonstrate their commitment to family values and the American dream by cosponsoring these bills and dedicating themselves to passing them without any additional measures that would further harm our communities.
