The Legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
|
|
During Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s investiture on the Supreme Court, Rabbi Brusso was a college student, spending his summer working for the Public Information office of the Supreme Court of the United States. In our discussion, Rabbi Brusso will share that personal experience, and we can all talk about the impact of this important Jewish civic leader on our country.
In Judaism, sheloshim is the secondary mourning period of thirty days after the funeral. This event will take place around that time. |
