The Exchange/Spotlight

Courts Matter Michigan, a nonpartisan coalition of diverse organizations working toward a well-functioning federal judiciary composed of qualified and impartial judges, is launching an educational program for Michigan voters.

Courts Matter Michigan and members of the National Council of Jewish Women, Michigan (NCJW|MI) have produced an informative PowerPoint presentation with accompanying script, handouts and facilitation guide, to increase awareness and understanding of the fundamental right to vote and how it relates to the judicial system, and to inform the public on the importance of electing political officials committed to a fair and independent judiciary.

While federal judges are nominated by the president, the Senate votes to confirm a nominee to a lifetime appointment. Courts Matter is mobilizing Michiganders to act, by contacting their senators to support well-qualified and diverse nominees dedicated to fairness and impartiality.

On June 22, Courts Matter Michigan will hold a virtual meeting to present the new educational program to its members. The presentation will subsequently be offered free to organizations, interest groups, school colleges and other interested audiences.

“When people cast their vote at the ballot box, it is essential that they understand the power that a senator can have,” said Susan Marwil, co-chair of Courts Matter Michigan, and a past president of NCJW|MI. “Recent decisions by the Supreme Court have highlighted the need for judges who uphold core constitutional values and who are fair and independent. Their decisions on court cases impact all our lives.

“Our new educational presentation will help Michiganders understand the process and lead to the election of politicians who are committed to upholding our core constitutional values, such as equality, freedom and justice for all,” Marwil added.

On June 10, 55 years ago, Israel won the Six-Day War against its enemies seeking its destruction, a decisive victory against all odds that expanded the Holy Land and inspired a nation.

But it was a difficult time. Israel faced many complex dilemmas about its ethical decisions, moral obligations and ultimate survival.

And today, over half a century later, these questions are as relevant and pressing as ever.

In this special course, relive the war and the miracles, and stop at six critical junctures to explore 3,000 years of Jewish wisdom on the fascinating and impossible questions at the heart of our nation’s survival.

The six-week course, taught by Rabbi Levi Dubov, begins July 20, both in-person and virtually. Visit https://www.bhchabad.org/survival for class options and to register.
