Stop Torture Banner Project

Take a public stand against torture! RHR-NA and K'vod Habriot have joined with the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) to bring the anti-torture message to congregations across the country. Order a Stop Torture banner to hang in your community!

The 2008 banner project is an important witness against torture that will also generate critical discussions in our communities. What does it mean to honor the image of God in every person? Are we willing to take a public stand against torture in our sanctuaries?

The banners were originally hung for Torture Awareness Month, June, 2008, and are now an on-going project. Read about the Jewish communities that hung the banner.

RHR-NA has designed a banner with the slogan of the Jewish Campaign Against Torture for use in Jewish communities. The banners are available in two sizes: 2 x 6 and 3x9. We can also provide you with a customized banner that includes your community's name.

Once the banner is up in your congregation, let us know or send us a picture! We would like every community to be counted. Let the Jewish voice against torture be heard!

To order a banner, please email RHR-NA with the name of your community, which banner you would like, and shipping information. We will contact you to confirm details and to arrange payment. Please allow about 10 days for the banner to be produced and shipped. Rush ordering is available for an additional cost.
