On June 2, 2022, in front of a live audience at Temple Kol Ami in West Bloomfield, Michigan, rabbis from three denominations discussed what the Jewish tradition tells us on key church-state separation issues, including reproductive rights and public funding of private religious schools. The panelists were Rabbi Brent Gutmann (Reform) of Temple Kol Ami, Rabbi Asher Lopatin (Modern Orthodox) of Kehillat Etz Chayim and AJC of Detroit, and Rabbi Blair Nosanwisch (Conservative) of Adat Shalom Synagogue. Moderated by Nomi Joyrich, Michigan Coordinator of the Jews for a Secular Democracy initiative.
