Join the growing list of congregations celebrating Human Rights Shabbat, December 12-13, 2008

Join the growing list of communities celebrating Human Rights Shabbat on December 12-13, 2008. This year marks 60 years since the unveiling of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 2008. In celebration of our commitment to universal human rights, we invite you to explore the connections between the values of Judaism and human rights in your congregation. There are many ways to be involved!
