RUTH BADER GINSBURG PROGRAM: Congregation Shaara Tfille and The Jewish Community Center of Saratoga Springs are presenting a program on the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The virtual program, shared through the 92nd Street Y in New York City, will feature women’s rights icon Gloria Steinem and Berkeley School of Law Professor Amanda Tyler. The event, sponsored by a generous grant from the Jewish Federation of Northeast New York, is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6.

Tyler is a former Ginsburg law clerk and co-author on her final book, “Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue: A Life’s Work Fighting for a More Perfect Union.” Together they will look at Ginsburg’s trailblazing legacy, exploring the landmark cases and barrier-breaking achievements that resulted in transforming not only the American legal landscape but American society itself.
