Standing with the Clergy of Newtown: a Letter to the U.S. Senate from American Religious Leaders 3/10/2013 Standing with the Clergy of Newtown: A Letter to the U.S. Senate from American Religious Leaders More than 4,000 religious leaders from across the country have joined the clergy of Newtown, Conn., in signing the letter below to U.S. senators asking for gun violence prevention legislation. United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senators, It’s been less than three months since our community experienced the unspeakable tragedy of the murder of children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As the clergy leaders of Newtown, joined by clergy colleagues from across the nation, we have witnessed the scourge of gun violence in our neighborhoods, and we call on Congress to pass comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation that will help stop the slaughter. The moral mandate to protect the weak in our care is clear and present in all of our faith traditions. Our varied faith traditions teach us to seek the peace of the city, to love our neighbor, and to cherish human dignity. To see the rising incidence of gun violence from Chicago to Newtown, Camden to Aurora, Detroit to Tucson – and how that violence particularly targets the young and the poor, especially in America’s urban communities - and yet to refuse to take the steps we know would reduce harm is a violation of religious values so severe that we are compelled to speak out. Nothing any of us do will bring back the victims murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School. As a nation we must do all we can to prevent the next tragedy. We pray that you will vote for meaningful gun violence prevention laws that include a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, enforceable universal background checks, an end to gun trafficking and prosecution of straw purchasers. After the news crews and cameras leave, after the rest of the nation turns away and resumes their normal routines, it is we who are asked to answer why this happened; to bind up the brokenhearted; and to explain why nothing in Newtown or our many communities will ever be the same again. As faith leaders, while we fully support laws that we believe will increase gun safety, we also believe that the larger underlying issue behind violence is spiritual: how we view our obligations to each other in light of our role in God's creation. We draw from a wellspring of tradition that will spark off a spiritual awakening in America that will transform us into a culture of compassion, reconciliation and civility. As faith leaders, we commit ourselves to fostering a culture of peace to complement and serve as a foundation for any proposed gun legislation. The slaughter of innocence in Newtown awakened our nation to the tragedy of gun violence throughout our land and we shall neither slumber nor sleep. Rather, by tireless commitment, loving hearts and the sustaining promise of our many faiths, we believe that Newtown shall be remembered as the bridge to a new and kinder world.

  • Rabbinic Judaism and Pluralism in the State of Israel and the United States of America
    Rosh Ha-Shanah 5780 Day Two 1 ​ Eilu Ve-Eilu Divrei Elohim Hạ yyim : Rabbinic Judaism and Pluralism in the State of Israel and the United States of America Tuesday, October 1, 2019 / 2nd of Tishrei, 5780 ​ ​ Rabbi Louis Polisson Congregation Or Atid of Wayland, MA Back in May, Or Atid had the pleasure of hearing Rabbi Mikie Goldstein speak about Conservative Judaism, Religious Pluralism, and LGBTQ+ Rights in the State of Israel today. Rabbi Goldstein is the first openly gay Masorti ​ (Conservative) pulpit rabbi in the State of Israel. On June 24th, just over a month after he spoke at Or Atid, I got an email from him with the subject line: “Fire at Adat Shalom-Emanuel - update.” This email update shared that on a Saturday night, firefighters had been called by a neighbor who saw flames coming from the upper floor of the synagogue, where their sanctuary is situated. Shortly after, members of their congregation were alerted and a few of them arrived, just as the fire had been put out. A fire investigator ruled out foul play, and it seemed that the fire had been caused by electrical issues. Rabbi Goldstein wrote: “Our main challenge right now is to find a suitable site for holding services this Shabbat. As usual, we have a Bat Mitzvah this ​ ​ Rosh Ha-Shanah 5780 Day Two 2 ​ Shabbat - and the next. Finding a place is not so easy. Most suitable halls are connected somehow to the municipality. Although people wish to help, they feel that their hands are tied because we are a Masorti kehillah [that is, a Conservative ​ ​ ​ ​ congregation].

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district. INTRODUCTION In this, the Bicentennial Year of the United States Constitution, the people of America find cause to celebrate the principles formulated at the inception of the nation Alexis de Tocqueville called, “The Great Experiment.” The experiment has worked, and the survival of the Constitution is proof of that.

In partnership with the National Council of Jewish Women, we represent a network of over 1,000 Rabbis and Jewish Clergy for Repro who have pledged to speak out about reproductive justice in our communities and to educate others about the Jewish values underpinning our support for abortion access for all. We are working to ensure that our communities are places where anyone who has, or may ever, terminate a pregnancy feels loved and welcomed, where people understand what our tradition teaches about these issues, and where we emphasize the importance of fighting for reproductive health, rights, and justice for everyone. The Women’s Health Protection Act embodies this mission and our hope for a future where all are free to make their own moral and faith-informed decisions about their lives, their futures, and their families without political interference.
