What's A Jew to Do...About the Death Penalty?

JCC East Bay
Berkeley, CA

The Supreme Court ruling on lethal injection focuses on the narrow issue of methods that may cause "unnecessary and wanton pain" which would thus constitute cruel and unusual punishment. Jewish texts have a wealth of insight into this issue as well as the broader one of the death penalty.
Rachel Biale, Bay Area Regional Director of Progressive Jewish Alliance (PJA), will lead an examination of these texts and their implication for the current debate about the death penalty. PJA is a social justice organization which works in coalition with many other Bay Area and national organizations towards the abolition of the death penalty. Biale will also discuss opportunities for activism on this issue. YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT IN ORDER TO ATTEND.

What's a Jew to Do... is a quarterly series co-produced by the JCC East Bay and the Progressive Jewish Alliance
