Group to discuss ‘Genesis of Justice’ On June 14, the Glen Rock Jewish Center will discuss “The Genesis of Justice” by Alan Dershowitz. The program will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the center’s facility at 682 Harristown Road. The community is welcome to attend the June 14 discussion, but must RSVP to librarian@grjc.org. The book, which concerns 10 stories of biblical injustice that led to the 10 commandments, modern morality, and law, is available at the Glen Rock Public Library at 315 Rock Road. A Harvard Law School faculty member since 1964, Dershowitz is noted for representing controversial and unpopular clients. In addition to tomes on the law and two novels, he wrote a 1987 book prescribing a remedy to save American Jews. In this further demonstration of his versatility, he turns to 10 stories from Genesis to demonstrate how the Bible provides a basis for contemporary ideas about justice. The narratives deal with Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Abraham, Lot, Jacob, Dina, Tamar, and Joseph. Dershowitz includes a translation of each story, recounts some theological commentaries, and offers his own interpretations. Call (201) 652-6624 or visit www.grjc.org.

Ridgewood Council (continued from page 9) Wellinghorst supported a one-week hiatus for further study by the council. Council Member Bernadette Walsh agreed that she would rather look the matter over before voting. Council Member Paul Aronsohn was absent from the work session.
