The Jew at the Ballot Box: Navigating Jewish Values in the US 2024 Elections
With Rabbi Jonah Rank, Rosh Yeshivah of Hebrew Seminary
If you were unable to join us on October 28, 2024, for our live study session, “The Jew at the Ballot Box: Navigating Jewish Values in the US 2024 Elections,” you are welcome to learn with us now through the recording below.
No political structure or politician has ever been a perfect fit for the Jewish people, but democracy is one of the finest tools Jews can wield to shape a better government. The 2024 elections present Jews with a renewed opportunity to ask serious questions about how best to protect religious freedoms, religious minorities, and the laws that allow us to express Judaism as Americans. At a (non-partisan) evening of study, central to our minds is how Jewish wisdom and history from the last 3,000 years can and will shape how Jews vote this election cycle.
