Accept the challenge. Be a part of something greater. Make IHC A 100% Voting Congregation
Brit Olam, IHC’s social justice advocacy program, challenges our entire community to vote this November. Help us reach our goal of becoming a 100% Voting Congregation.
A man once came before his rabbi (Chazon Ish 1878-1953) and explained that he didn’t have enough money to pay taxes, and therefore would not be allowed to vote in an upcoming election. The rabbi responded: “Sell all your Jewish ritual objects if you have to, you can borrow those from another. The right to vote you cannot get from someone else.”
Brit Olam has created an informational page to help you make a plan to vote.

Deadline to submit absentee ballot application: 22nd October
Election day: 3rd of November
