STATEMENT
FROM
TEMPLE SINAI
Temple Sinai recognizes with sorrow that after the pain from the horrific treatment of Daniel Prude this summer, and again of a nine-year-old little girl last month, the grand jury’s choice not to indict the police officers involved in Daniel Prude’s death is yet another painful blow to the Rochester community, especially to Black community members and people of color, including Black members of our Jewish community.
We are obligated “not to stand idly by while your neighbor’s blood is shed.” (Leviticus 19:16) for the sanctity of human life is of utmost importance.
We offer our prayers for the Prude family. We will support the efforts in our community to reform and create a public safety and health system that responds appropriately to individuals in need of mental health services, honors the lives of all people and upholds racial and social justice.
