Adult Education

Israel put up a fence to keep terrorists out.  Why shouldn’t America put up a fence along its Mexican border for the same reason and to keep out illegal immigrants?  Is there a difference?  Do God and the Torah command us to be responsible for the welfare of everyone in our midst, even if they are not here legally?
 
Rabbi Schwartz will be our teacher as we answer the question: “What does Judaism say about how illegal immigrants and our responsibilities and obligations as Jews?”
 
That’s the topic of our next Adult Education program in this series, Thursday, December 13th, 7:30-9PM in Social Hall 3, at Temple Emanu-El.
