Let us prayin peace.
From Park East Synagogue in Manhattan to Adas Torah in Los Angeles, Jews have been screamed at, blocked and threatened on their way into shul. On campus, students have faced the same at the doors of Hillel and Chabad. The Right to Worship Act would put a stop to it.
Add your name
Tell Congress to pass the Right to Worship Act.
I support the Right to Worship Act. No one should have to push past a mob to enter their synagogue, and no student should be harassed walking into Hillel or Chabad. I urge Congress to pass it.
Thank you. Your name has been added.
Every signature tells Congress that the right to pray in peace is not up for negotiation. Ask your friends and family to sign too.
