New York’s new “no-bail” law is not bad for the Jews – Op-Ed co-authored by Rabbi Rachel Timoner
Rabbi Timoner recently co-authored an op-ed in the Forward with Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah in Manhattan and Matt Nosanchuk of the New York Jewish Agenda about what repealing New York cash bail reform could mean for Jews.
“Rolling back criminal-justice reforms by scapegoating bail reform in New York in the name of protecting Jews would send a shameful and false message that preserving a racially discriminatory criminal-justice system is the price of combating anti-Semitism. This will drive a wedge between Jews and the very allies we should be working with to devise effective strategies to counter the prejudice and bigotry that has fueled the recent attacks.”
