Come hear Rachel Joseph Marah, Assistant Director of Legislative Affairs for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State and a lifetime member of NCJW, speak on the topic "Religion and the Law in the Public Schools."

Ms. Marah brings her wide knowledge of the subject from her job at the Washington-based organization where she lobbies Congress on a variety of religious liberty issues. She was one of the founders of the coalition formed to oppose the Bush Administration "Faith Based" initiative scheme.

Prior to joining Americans United, Ms. Marah served as a lobbyist for the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. Lobbying legislation on a broad range of issues, including the separation of church and state, education, radical right, and women's issues, Rachel helped formulate the Reform Jewish Movement's legislative action plan in these areas.

Let us find out how we, as mothers and grandmothers of children in the public schools can help maintain the constitutional imperative for the separation of church and state. Our public schools need not be ‘religion free' zones, but school officials need to understand the law and be diligent in their efforts to avoid sponsoring or promoting religious activity on school grounds.

This interesting meeting will be held in the second floor auditorium at Vantage House, on Vantage Point Way in Columbia on Monday, March 19 at 7:30 PM. All members are urged to attend. Please bring a friend!
