Who We Are
The Nashville Jewish Social Justice Roundtable is a progressive Jewish voice within the broader Nashville Jewish community committed to exploring and supporting solutions that will advance the principles of democratic pluralism, religious freedom, and social and economic justice. Our Jewish faith guides our commitment to maintain just, fair, and compassionate public policies on the national, state, and local levels. It is our intent to support an interfaith, inter-ethnic, and interracial community in which all can live with civility and dignity.
What We Stand For
"If I am not for myself, who will be for me; if I am only for myself, what am I; and if not now, when."
Wherever people are hurting, abused, preyed upon or disadvantaged, we are asked to intervene and to repair their/our world to bring justice to their cause. And - although it may seem impossible to solve or that a remedy is well over the horizon, we are not free to turn away.
