Passover Village Demands: "Close the Camps"



The sages asked, "Which is greater, Torah study or action?" Their conclusion, "Study is greater, for it leads to action."

Passover Village has been studying our relationship to "the other", to the environment, and to justice. Last week, we put the study into action, participating as a group in the "Close the Camps" rally in Los Angeles, demanding that refugees be treated with respect and justice.

Our participation was full of heart. We sang, prayed, and held council. Our colorful flags of the four directions, tallitot, and shofarot raised the ruach, spirit of the event.

The sages also said, “You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.” Our pursuit of justice will continue.
