Students celebrated Rosh Hashanah from the evening of Sept. 6 though Sept. 8 with services, meals and gatherings — all slightly modified to fit the ongoing pandemic, but much closer to tradition than last year’s.
On the night of Sept. 18 the world lost a shining light and a bulwark of our democracy with the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg ’54. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, a champion of women’s rights and human rights, Justice Ginsburg carried the burdens of the world on her shoulders. At just 5’ 1” tall, oftentimes soft-spoken but always fearless, she towered over us all and will be remembered as one of the greatest women who have ever lived. I have never cried this hard over someone I never knew.
