MLK and the Talmud

The good people at Hillel have created a great resource to study Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” as a page of Talmud. Check it out here and let the Torah of his words enlighten your hearts/minds on this weekend.

Before Dr. King spoke on that August day in 1963, Rabbi Joachin Prinz gave this inspirational speech. Prinz was a refugee of Nazi Germany and a prominent rabbi in Newark, NJ.

Both these speeches, sadly, still need to be heeded today.

If you will be at M’kor Shalom this Erev Shabbat, I hope the music inspires you to action.

Shabbat Shalom

I knew that many Jews participated in the Civil Rights Movement, but I was not familiar with Rabbi Joachin Prinz’ speech at the March on Washington. Thanks for sharing this information and link.
