The Jewish community has consistently been at the forefront of leading and participating in human rights advocacy. “Tikkun Olam,” the repair of the world, has been part of our heritage for millennia. It’s at the core of our religion. Our bible commands us to pursue justice: “Justice, justice you shall pursue” (Tzedek, Tzedek, tirdof — Deuteronomy, 16:20). Jewish women like Gloria Steinem played an outsized role in the feminist movement in the 1960s while Rabbi Abraham Heschel marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. from Selma to Montgomery.
