“What does Judaism say about…illegal immigrants?”
Thursday, December 13th, 2007
7:30-9:00PM
Temple Emanu-El
Are they illegal immigrants or simply undocumented workers? Should they be treated differently than anyone else who either enters the United States illegally or over-stays their visa permission?
And what about a wall on our southern border? Isn’t it critical to national security? What makes a wall between the United States and Mexico any different than the “fence” Israel has erected on the West Bank?
Where do you draw the line between social justice and clear law-breaking?
These are among the issues of the illegal immigration question that we, as Jews, need to examine through our own prism: the Torah. Join us this Thursday evening, December 13th, at7:30-9:00 when Rabbi Julie Schwartz leads us in a discussion of “What Judaism says about illegal immigrants?”
