Shabbat Shalom. To those celebrating Yom Kippur - G'mar chatima tova (May you be sealed in the Book of Life). We hope those who are fasting have an easy fast. We head into this weekend - still mourning the passing of RBG - remembering these words of wisdom.

"To summarize briefly her contributions to women’s rights–if you have a credit card in your own name and your own credit history, if you have leased an apartment or bought property in your name, if you have consented to your own medical treatment, if you have served on a jury, if you have participated in school sports, you can thank Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."

On Friday, September 18th, our nation lost one of its most treasured public servants, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Justice Ginsburg was 87 years old and died from complications
#honoringrbg #takeaction #CourtsMatter #RuthsRevolution
📢📢 ACTION ITEM: We're urging Jewish organizations to sign-on onto our letter to the Senate urging them to wait until the next administration takes office before filling Justice Ginsburg's seat.
All national, state, and local Jewish orgs are asked to sign: https://courtsmatter.org/take-action/jewish-organizational-sign-on-letter-honor-ruth-bader-ginsburgs-memory/
The famous injunction in the Torah: Tzedek, Tzedek, Tirdof, or Justice, Justice, You Shall Pursue, is situated in the context of verses imploring us to create a fair and impartial judiciary; our pursuit of a non-partisan judiciary is, in its essence, the pursuit of justice, and our holding fast to this standard honors the memory of a great judge and justice. #ThankYouRBG #ForRuth #andjusticeforall #NCJW

#HonoringRBG - The Human:
People often asked both of us how we became friends. Last December, at dinner one evening she succinctly replied: "A common love for ideas, for music. It was really the [Bach] Goldberg Variations that brought us together."
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/21/opinion/ruth-bader-ginsburg-friendship.html
I was a young, African-American Southerner, working in a Republican administration. But I loved Bach’s Goldberg Variations, and that was enough for her.

The Supreme Court Justice was the second woman to hold the role—and battled gender discrimination since the 1970s.
National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW)
We have a tough week ahead of us. The good news? We are in this fight together. It is on all of us to pursue justice in RBG's stead. To show gratitude for the work she has done, share in our sadness for her loss, & together commit to fight for her legacy. #RuthsRevolution #RBG
Powerful words from National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) CEO Sheila Katz about the incredible Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
“It’s a literal wake-up call to the Jewish people that we need to work together and better ourselves,” said Katz. “We cannot simply mourn Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We must take action to honor her legacy, to fight for a fair court, and to continue to protect women’s rights.” #ForRuth #ripRBG #ruthbaderginsburg #ncjw
Grief-stricken Americans gathered at makeshift memorials around the country on Saturday to mourn the death of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal, feminist icon, as President Donald Trump signaled his intention to fill the vacancy weeks before a heated...

If not, here's recorded live stream of Saturday's vigil honoring Justice Ginsburg, during which NCJW President Dana Gershon delivered a touching tribute.
Vigil for RBG at Supreme Court
WE HAVE NO WORDS. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.
"Our nation has lost a justice of historic stature," Chief Justice John Roberts said. "We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her, a tired and resolute champion of justice."
Ginsburg, the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court, died from complications from cancer. Her death will set in motion what promises to be a tumultuous political battle over who will succeed her.
Shana Tova!
This year’s High Holidays are going be unlike any we've ever experienced, but we still have a lot to be grateful for: we have been very busy doing the good work we do and continued to serve the women, children and families most in need.
Wishing you all a healthy, happy and sweet New Year!

Shabbat Shalom! Exactly 57 years have passed since folks from all over the US stood on the National Mall to demand civil rights and economic opportunity. Today, thousands joined a rally in Washington calling for an end to racial injustice and police violence. We celebrate this momentous day with a quote from Martin Luther King Jr.
We are proud to stand for racial justice.
This morning, over 600 Jewish organizations, synagogues, and congregations, including the National Council of Jewish Women, signed this ad in The New York Times: “We say unequivocally: Black Lives Matter.”

#OnThisDay the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was ratified by the U.S. Congress. A century later, the fight for equal rights continues!
#19thAmendment #100anniversary #votingrights #universalsuffrage
Today marks 100 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote. The culmination of decades of activism from women suffragettes, the amendment was originally passed by Congress on June 4, 1919. Just over a year later, on August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, securing its adoption. This footage shows just a handful of the 8 million women who took to the polls a few months later, in November 1920, for a presidential election that saw Republican Warren G. Harding defeat Democrat James Cox.
Although the 19th Amendment extended voting rights to millions of women, it’s important to remember that a majority of Black, Indigenous, and Asian American women continued to be disenfranchised even after it was adopted, through poll taxes, Jim Crow policies, citizenship laws, and other means. Even today, restrictive election policies continue to prevent many women of color, as well as incarcerated women, low-income women, and trans women, from exercising their full right to vote. Other societal inequalities, like a lack of affordable access to child care, further exacerbate that problem.

REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE MATTERS. #AbortionAccess4All #BeBoldEndHyde #ActForWomen
"Policies that deny abortion coverage to individuals based on their income level or the type of health insurance they have contradict shared core values and principles of our faiths. Supporting this injustice goes against everything clergy of all faiths should represent.
That’s why we are calling on Congress to pass the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH Woman) Act."

During our visit to Literacy Achieves in West Dallas, we caught a little snippet of the little ones playing while their mothers were in the #ESL classes. Little Diego was practicing on spelling his own name too. 📚 So thankful that many of our #NCJWDallas volunteers have become mentors in this oasis of #education and good will!
Lois Finkelman, the recipient of 2019's Hannah G. Solomon Award, urged everyone to fight political apathy and get involved especially in local elections. They affect our everyday life more than we realize. #NCJWDALLAS #getinvolved #localelections #smartvoter
💙💚❤ Joy Mankoff holding her son's hand on the way to receiving the 2019 NCJW Dallas Lifetime Achievment Award was one of the most delicate and emotional moments we've witnessed! Joy's sense of humor and self-deprecation lit up the room, but her guiding inspiration from Rabbi Tarfon's centuries-old writings was aligned perfectly with NCJW Dallas' mission: "You are not obliged to complete the work of perfecting the world, but neither are you free to desist from it; [..]"
And the Hannah G. Solomon Award goes to....LOIS FiNKELMAN! After being introduced by the Hon. Linda Koop, Lois - as elegant and confident as ever - walked up on the stage. 🎈🎈🎈
You've seen Rico's jocular side yesterday, while giving the #Bonton goats a holler. But this is his humbling testimony about overcoming #addiction with the support of his wonderful p Bonton Farms family. Our hearts were so full. Good luck, dear friend! #SpringMeeting #NCJWDallas #SEDallas #healing #hope
Starting our way back to #Dallas reaffirmed why we picked @bontonfarms for our Spring Meeting. Along #Bexar Rd., in #SouthEastDallas, we saw a string of decrepit structures so typical for an impoverished, left-behind and underrepresented community, but also some signs of rebirth - new structures, apartments, and even bus stations. Change, even modest, can happen with dedication, drive and community glue. As Daron Babcock and his "brothers" told us, there is still a long, long way to go for #Bonton to reach a level of basic normality. Aside jobs, they need real food there, they need schools, and health services. Let's open our eyes big to see the poverty trap and discrimination at play. Let's lend a hand, open our hearts, and support sustainable alternatives. #NCJWDALLAS #communityservice #communitybuilding #rebirth #hope
Rico, our Bonton Farms host, was calling his goats and it made our day! #SpringMeeting #NCJWDALLAS
What's that African drum sound? It's actually our cart providing the..."soundtrack" for today's huge #Arboretum production. 😎 Put on by HIPPY of Irving ISD, #NCJWDALLAS, and Texas HIPPY, it began with hundreds of preschoolers, parents, and their home instructors, descending from 10 buses and forming a long, long line to get into the gardens.

On Valentine's Day, when Chad Houser of Cafe Momentum shared with the NCJW Greater Dallas why he decided to make a difference in the lives of troubled youth from South Dallas, you could sense raw emotion. Chad's eye-opener was the realization that these eight young men, whom he was training in the craft of ice cream (yum!), had never tasted fresh raspberries until that very moment. Let that sink in. #ChadHouser #CafeMomentum #repairingourworld #SouthDallas #fooddeserts #incarceration #fortheloveoffood #foodforthought #anotherchance #secondchance #criminaljusticereform
