Protecting Gun Safety Laws and Why It Matters (Hybrid)

Join the Jewish Partnership for Gun Safety (JPGS) for learning, connection, and purpose as we explore Massachusetts’ gun safety laws that are now under threat and how we can work together to protect them, grounded in our Jewish values and commitment to justice, compassion, and collective action.

We’ll hear from Janet Goldenberg—co-founder of the MA Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, president of MA Action to Prevent Gun Violence, and a Temple Beth Elohim member—along with clergy, who will speak to the importance of this issue for our community. Massachusetts has the strongest gun safety laws in the nation, but a ballot initiative in the November 2026 state election seeks to repeal them.

This event is sponsored by the Jewish Partnership for Gun Safety, a collaborative alliance of passionate members of three local synagogues (Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley, Temple Isaiah of Lexington, and Temple Aliyah of Needham) that seeks to educate and activate the Jewish community and other allies to prevent gun violence through the Vote Yes for a Safe Massachusetts Campaign.
