The American Jewish experience and the freedoms we enjoy are currently threatened like never before. It’s been a very long time since the security of the American Jewish community was as much at risk as it is today.
—Roberta Kaplan, at the National Museum of American Jewish History, speaking on the reality of Jewish life in America. She went on to say, “The violence can and will happen again here in the United States,” and called on lawyers to “wake up,” and “take action to make it stop.” She said, “I believe in my Jewish heart and my Jewish bones that the law is one important tool for doing that.”
