Last night's State of the Union speech was, to many, a powerful statement of vision about our country. To others, it fell short - failing to address critical issues.
After watching the speech with friends and allies from throughout the Jewish social justice movement, we asked these leaders to share their reactions.
We found the feedback and critique of our colleagues to be fascinating - but also useful in creating a fuller picture of the President's remarks. We hope that you'll agree.
