The Legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and What Her Loss Means in This Moment

What did Ruth Bader Ginsburg mean for America in general and for American Jews in particular? And what does her loss mean for us today, moving forward, against the backdrop of a rising Christian nationalism? Come meet two remarkable authors to discuss RBG’s legacy and learn how her Jewish identity influenced her sense of justice, why she championed the related causes of gender equality and separation of church and state, and what we might be in for as the political battle over her replacement rages. With: Jane Sherron DeHart, professor emerita of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara and author of the national bestseller “Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Life.” Jay Wexler, professor at Boston University School of Law, former law clerk for RBG, and author of “Our Non-Christian Nation: How Atheists, Satanists, Pagans, and Others are Demanding Their Rightful Place in Public Life.” Interviewed by Paul Golin, executive director of the Society for Humanistic Judaism and staff lead on its Jews for a Secular Democracy social-justice initiative.
