SPECIAL TRIBUTE
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
At a service honoring the life of the late United States Supreme Court Justice, Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt eulogized Ginsburg as a "path-marking role model for women and girls of all ages, who now know that no office is out of reach for their dreams, whether that is to serve the highest court of our land or closer to home for me as the rabbi of their community." Holtzblatt reminded listeners of her historic impact, saying "As a lawyer she won equality for women and men, not in one swift victory, but brick by brick, case by case. Through meticulous, careful lawyering, she changed the course of American law."
