Amid the turmoil and turbulence of our nation’s constitutional crisis, the traditional ten days of repentance from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur seem to have enhanced significance. Indeed, it is a time for introspection and an auspicious opportunity to create change and right the wrongs of injustice. Read More

It’s a scary time to be a woman in America.

The National Council of Jewish Women, with your support, is fighting back.

We will be on the front lines to oppose all measures that shutter licensed clinics,

prevent patients from receiving care, and trample individual religious liberty.

EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT

Ellen Widoff opsa @ncjwaz.org

Arizona is getting national press attention on the issue of Gun Violence. A recent article in the New York Times suggests that our Senate race between Mark Kelly and incumbent Senator Martha McSally could be a test of the strength of the gun control debate. In a state with some of the least restrictive gun laws in the nation, Arizona is currently seen as a tossup, with both parties viewing it as critical to control of the Senate in 2021. I hope you will join us at Temple Chai on Oct. 15 for an engaging panel discussion on this important issue.
