SACRED (the South African Centre for Religious Equality and Diversity) provides a progressive Jewish voice on relevant social, moral, ethical and religious issues in South Africa.
The organisation was initiated by the Progressive movement and aims to counteract religious discrimination in all its forms. SACRED recently produced this clip on YouTube , which discusses the exclusion of women from secular services such as Yom Ha’atzmaut and Yom HaShoah. The issue has received extensive coverage in overseas publications such as The Jerusalem Post and Ha’aretz. We congratulate SACRED on their excellent work and look forward to many more successful initiatives from them. Please sign up on their website www.sacred.org.za or ‘like’ their Facebook page if you are interested in being part of their campaigns.
