Fellow Orthodox Rabbis, Take a Stronger Stance Against Guns

Orthodox rabbis have got to take a stronger stand against the leading cause of death of children in this country: guns. While other Jewish groups take strong stances on gun control, the response of the Orthodox community to the epidemic of mass shootings has been lacking in force and substance. The day after the Uvalde, Texas, massacre that left 21 people dead, the Rabbinical Council of America, the leading membership organization of Orthodox rabbis in North America, called for "meaningful dialogue" and "substantive actions" to curb gun violence.
