Every Major Jewish Denomination's Statement on the Murder of George Floyd


Every major Jewish religious denomination in America has joined in condemnation and calls for justice.  The words of the prophet Isaiah, Tzedek tzedek tirdof rings in the streets of our nation.


May God grant our country a clear vision of the equality of all races in all things, guide our government and our criminal justice system to the fair and equal treatment of all, raise up the calls for justice and quiet the drive to violence in our streets.
