Why are we talking about the Jewish response to Christian Nationalism? Well, for one not only is the separation of religion & state a foundational American principle, it’s a fundamental Jewish value. Honored to talk about this at the Summit for Religious Freedom! #SRF2025 @paulgolin.bsky.social

We strongly believe reproductive freedom is religious freedom. It's a Jewish value - period! That's why JFASD is proud to partner with NCJW for Repro Shabbat 2025 on Feb 21-22 (Parshat Mishpatim). Find out more at www.jewsforabortionaccess.org/repro-shabba.... @ncjw.bsky.social #reproshabbat
A rectangular graphic picture - left side is a glass of wine, 2 Shabbat candles and a loaf of challah bread over the words “Repro Shabbat” and then the line “National Council of Jewish Women.” On the right side in large all caps it says “Reproductive Freedom Is A Jewish Value. Period.” Under that is the logo for Jews for a Secular Democracy.
