Labor on the Bimah helps dozens of congregations in DC, VA, and MD reflect on workers rights during Labor Day weekend. The program is part of a national interfaith effort to infuse Labor Day with meaning and spread awareness of labor issues from the pulpit, the bimah, and the minbar. The 2008 theme for Labor on the Bimah is "Caring for Caregivers". Dignified working conditions in nursing homes, assisted living communities and home healthcare setting enable caregivers to provide the highest quality of care. Congregations will learn about how they can take action to improve conditions for people doing this critical work. To be a volunteer or join a congregation near you for Labor on the Bimah, contact Sonya Weisburd at sonya@jufj.org or 202-408-1423. | ||
