Vigil For Charlottesville

The Rabbi read a few things from Jewish thinkers about the persecution of those who are different. They were based on experience.

 

Reverend Kimberly Chastain watched the behavior of the White Supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, and wondered why nobody in Binghamton was doing anything about it. Then she realized that she had a church, with a sound system, and the Christmas candles, and she knew a lot of the other clergy in town. She put a post in Facebook that there would be a non-denominational vigil in front of the United Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening. The local newspaper picked it up and posted it, as well. They were hoping to get 70 people. I stopped counting at 200.
