REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM IS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Wednesday, September 4 / 7:00pm

Temple Shalom Sanctuary

Register Here

Not everyone realizes the vital connection between reproductive freedom and religious freedom. Everyone is invited to join together as we view, “Under G-d,” a 22-minute documentary by noted Jewish filmmaker Paula Eiselt, which features the Jewish response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade. It weaves together the story of a mother and activist in Indiana, a rabbi in Florida, and lawyers around the country fighting abortion bans on the grounds of religious freedom as they seek to protect women - and democracy - by preserving the Constitutional right of separation of church and state. Everyone is invited to come watch this FREE short film. Following the film David Troiano will have a lead a brief presentation and discussion.

Established in 1981 by a group of Holocaust survivors, FIDF is a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation that operates 26 regional offices in the United States with headquarters in New York City.

There is a nationwide online reporting system for threats or suspicious activity related to Jewish organizations or communities.

Once a report is made, security agents determine the urgency and, if necessary, work with the FBI or other law enforcement partners.

The information from the reports can also be used to keep better data on incidents, learn who is behind the threats, and track cases across communities.

People can use their computers, tablets or cell phones to fill out the reports.
