[Video] A Tribute to Jane Ramsey’s Jewish Social Justice Leadership

January 25, 2013

Jane RamseyJane Ramsey has led the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs courageously and energetically for over three decades. Jane has been at the forefront of many critical issues affecting Chicago and the nation. Throughout the years, her leadership enabled the JCUA to become one of Chicago’s most active and important organizations speaking on behalf of human and civil rights issues.

As Jane retired from JCUA in September 2012, here is a tribute video to her work and legacy. It is up to us all to carry this torch forward, as is said in Perkei Avot (2:21) –

“You are not obligated to complete the task, but neither are you free to desist from it.”

Thank you, Jane.
