During Torture Awareness Month in June 2008, over 330 congregations of all faiths and sizes made it unequivocally clear that torture is wrong. By displaying a banner, they sent a powerful message to our elected officials and the public that torture is wrong and must be banned.

"Whether it is walking by Riverside Church or Rutgers Presbyterian Church and seeing an anti-torture banner displayed at both of them, or seeing one in the sanctuary at B'nai Jeshurun Synagogue when I go to a brit milah, or looking up at the one at Shaare Zedek Synagogue when I enter Shabbat services, I am constantly reminded about the millions of people we are reaching with the interfaith message that torture is a moral issue." ~ Rabbi Rachel Kahn-Troster of T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call to Human Rights (formerly Rabbis for Human Rights)
