Nov. 11 @ 7:30 p.m. The Demand for Justice: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Jewish Traditions

The program will explore the life and jurisprudence of Justice Ginsburg through a Jewish lens, including how her religious upbringing and immigrant background shaped her constitutional worldview and philosophy of what America could and should be.
