“We promise to carry forward your legacy,” rabbi says

Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt honored Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Supreme Court in front of family, close friends and the other Supreme Court justices.

“To be born into a world that does not see you, that does not believe in your potential, that does not give you a path for opportunity or a clear path for education, and despite this, to be able to see beyond the world you are in, to imagine that something can be different — that is the job of a prophet,” she said.

Justice Ginsburg’s legacy marked the path for “women and girls of all ages, who now know that no office is out of reach for their dreams,” the rabbi said as she remembered the late justice’s work on ensuring equal treatment for men and women.
